"In the 2004-2006 cycle, long-term yields rose before the Fed hiked rates as investors anticipated the changes, but then fell after the actual increase in the Fed funds rate began. In the current cycle, 10-year Treasury bond yields have traded in a wide range since the Fed first began to move the Federal funds rate above zero in December 2015. Yet despite three rate hikes, bond yields are about where they were when the cycle began."
