The Fed is expected to hold its benchmark interest rate steady in the current 4.25%-4.50% range at its next policy meeting on Jan. 28-29 .

The central bank's policy rate sets the short-term price of overnight loans among banks.

Bond yields on a 10-year U.S. Treasury note in the mid-4% range may be normal historically, but there's a meaningful risk that we could see much higher long-term interest rates.

Rates eased somewhat last week after Fed Governor Christopher Waller argued he was optimistic inflation would continue to fall and allow the Fed to cut its own rate again sooner and perhaps deeper than expected.

Long-term rates that move higher from here could eventually weigh on the economy and put at risk what the central bank and elected officials hope will otherwise become an extended economic expansion.
