Summary · why it matters

Shares of packaged food companies Conagra, General Mills, and Post fell in afternoon trading after the Federal Reserve held its benchmark rate at 3.5% to 3.75% and released a dot plot pointing toward a potential hike. The 2-year Treasury yield jumped 11 basis points to 4.161%, narrowing the yield advantage that had made dividend stocks more attractive following late-2025 rate cuts. Conagra fell 3.1%, General Mills dropped 3%, and Post declined 3.4%, as rising rate expectations also raised concerns about higher refinancing costs for companies carrying significant acquisition-related debt.
