Fed Rate Expectations Flip From Cuts to Potential Hikes
Markets now price a 10% chance of Fed rate hikes in April, reversing from expectations of 2-3 cuts at year-start to zero cuts currently. The dramatic shift follows a 50 basis point surge in 2-year Treasury yields over three weeks, driven by elevated inflation data and Middle East energy price pressures.
This represents a fundamental pivot in monetary policy expectations that will reshape asset allocation strategies and borrowing costs across all sectors.
