Les traders augmentent leurs paris que la Fed dirigée par Waller pourrait d'abord augmenter les taux d'intérêt puis les réduire

Gold Financial reports that on May 6th, bond traders are increasing their bets, believing that the Federal Reserve’s next policy move may be to raise interest rates rather than cut them. The interest rate swap contracts linked to the central bank’s rate decisions currently show that the market expects the probability of the Federal Reserve raising rates by April next year to exceed 50%, before possibly shifting to a rate cut. Meanwhile, more and more traders are increasing their positions to hedge against the rising risk of rate hikes before the end of this year. As this shift occurs in the market, divergences among policymakers regarding the interest rate outlook seem to be widening, against the backdrop of U.S. President Donald Trump’s push for rate cuts, with Kevin Wash set to succeed as Federal Reserve Chair.
