The Federal Reserve announced yesterday that the annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) moved from 8.5% to 8.3% with core CPI (CPI without the volatile food and energy components) rising to 6.2%. After digesting this information, the benchmark 10-year treasury moved from its annual high on Friday of 3.20% to the yield at today’s close of 2.86%.

- 3-year fixed from 3.50-5.00%
