    U.S. Treasury yields climbed after tough talks from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell signaled faster rate increase, maybe likely at the next policy meeting in May. 

    Chairman Powell spoke at a meeting of the IMF and World Bank in Washington, D.C. and said the inflation was expected to peak around this time in the year and then come down in the rest of the year and then slowdown further in 2023. However, these expectations have been disappointed in the past 

    He added, "it may be that the actual peak was in March, but we don't know that. and went on to add that we will be raising rates expeditiously to get to levels that are more neutral "

    Powell also confirmed that Fed policy tools are limited in tackling supply side issues or energy and commodities prices but the central bank has a toolkit in tackling demand related issues. 

    Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, IMF Chief Kristalina Georgieva, and European Central Bank Christine Lagarde hold talks during the International Monetary Fund and World Bank Spring Meetings in Washington.
