Analysis
Traders have recently abandoned bets that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates before July. This shift reflects market concerns about persistent inflation and the possibility that the Fed may maintain a tighter monetary policy for longer. Previously, the market widely expected the Fed to begin cutting rates in the second half of this year to address the risk of an economic slowdown. However, recent economic data showing stubbornly high inflation has dampened trader expectations of a Fed policy shift. Despite this, the market still expects the Fed to slow the pace of rate hikes in the coming months and eventually begin cutting rates next year.
