Summary · why it matters

Mondelez shares slid 2.1% to close at $60.87 after the Federal Reserve held its benchmark rate at 3.5%–3.75% and released a dot plot pointing toward a possible 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. Packaged food companies like Mondelez, Kraft Heinz, and Conagra face additional pressure because their acquisition-related debt becomes more expensive to refinance when rate expectations rise.
