The comments followed the Fed's decision to raise the benchmark rate by an as-expected half a percentage point - down from recent 75 basis point increases - but projected a terminal rate above 5%, a level not seen since a steep economic downturn in 2007. The 10-year Treasury yield slipped to 3.49% in Tokyo trading, with the two-year yield also edging lower to 4.24%.
