Market uncertainty on Fed rate decision persists as yields rise

Quick Take

• The market uncertainty of what the Federal Reserve will do next is obvious, as expectations are now almost a 50/50 split between a pause or a 25bps rate hike at the upcoming FOMC on May 3.
• But it gets even more uncertain as we go through the futures of the fed funds rate.
• In June, the market is pricing in three different options a cut, hold, and a hike simultaneously. A pause is the most favored option currently.
• Today, the rate across the yield curve has spiked from US03M to US30Y.
• Even with stubbornly high core inflation, the fed may opt to pause due to the financial instability.
