Markets Now See Zero Chance of Fed Interest-Rate Cuts This Year
Financial markets have fully abandoned bets on rate cuts from the Federal Reserve this year, with the war in the Middle East set to drive up inflation.
Derivatives markets show zero odds of a rate cut this year, down from 1.3% on Thursday, according to CME Group data. Markets are pricing a 54% chance of at least one hike.
