It’s common for the yield curve to flatten at the start of a rate hike cycle. The FED only controls the short end. So if they say rates are going up by 2%, bond traders (long end) think - “that will slow the economy, lower inflation”, so they will not bid up long end rates. Sometimes the end end goes down.
