The market ended this week with Treasury yields rising as Wall Street considers the implications of the Federal Reserve’s rate cuts earlier this week.

The 10-year treasury yield rose to 4.168% and the 30-year yield went to 4.822%.

Not only do investors have to react to the latest rate cut, but projections on the intentions of the central bank’s future policy are difficult, as there may be a sweeping change of leadership at some point in 2027.

The labor market may show signs that more cuts will come in the first half of 2026, especially as President Trump looks to push for the Federal Reserve to focus on rate cuts.

Jerome Powell, head of the Federal Reserve, said, “Surveys of households and businesses both show declining supply and demand for workers. So, I think you can say that the labor market has continued to cool gradually, just a touch more gradually than we thought.”

The major indexes are heading into the weekend at or close to all time highs.
