Analysis
Traders have recently shifted their bets on a Fed rate cut before July, no longer fully pricing it in. This shift reflects the market's latest assessment of inflation and the economic outlook. While the market had widely expected the Fed to cut rates this year, recent economic data has shown that inflation remains stubbornly high and economic growth is relatively strong, leading traders to lower their expectations for a rate cut. Additionally, recent hawkish comments from Fed officials, suggesting they will continue to maintain a tight monetary policy, have further fueled market doubts about a rate cut. As a result, traders are no longer fully pricing in a Fed rate cut before July and are starting to consider the possibility that the Fed may keep interest rates elevated for a longer period.
