Analysis-US stocks face headwind from rising yields after Fed signals fewer rate cuts
NEW YORK (Reuters) -The rally in U.S. stocks is encountering a fresh hurdle -- a potentially problematic rise in Treasury yields as the Federal Reserve signals fewer interest rate cuts for 2025. The central bank's rate outlook on Wednesday included only two cuts in the coming year, rather than the four previously penciled in, catching investors off guard, and sending stocks tumbling while driving up yields and the dollar. That overshadowed the Fed's widely expected decision to reduce its benchmark rate for a third straight meeting.
