The effective federal funds rate might bottom in mid-2027, according to retired PIMCO co-founder and bond market expert Bill Gross.

In a post on X.com (formerly Twitter), he said that the post-Jackson Hole interest rate market suggests a 3% Fed funds bottom in about two years.

“If so, then 4% 10-year (US10Y [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/US10Y]) is a possibility,” he said. “Still, with trillions in supply ahead, 4% is hard to imagine.”

He told investors to stay “mildly bearish” with an expected range of 4.15%-4.45% for the U.S. 10-year bond yield (US10Y [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/US10Y]) over the next few months, adding that the current yield – 4.29% as of Monday early trade – is “no bargain especially after taxes.”

The 10-year yield is currently down 3 basis points from the open. It has also declined 6.3% year-to-date, although it has increased 13.1% from a year ago.
