This is like... obviously happening right? This has been the Fed's behavior over the past year:

Do No buyers thing they're going to have a sudden change of heart, or what...?

predicted YES

@jonsimon Lots of people think they close up shopn after just 50bps of further hikes.

predicted YES

@MP So basically just shy of the 5% cutoff eh? What's the rationale? Core inflation is still way above their 2% target

@jonsimon Fed funds futures market pricing is for a peak federal funds rate just shy of 5%:

So this market being just below 50% seems consistent with that.

predicted YES

@chrisjbillington The link you sent is for the upcoming February Fed meeting. This market is asking about all of 2023.

@jonsimon Click on the "probabilities" tab. The page contains information about more future meetings, but it's not possible to link directly to them. Apologies for the confusion.

predicted YES

@chrisjbillington Gotcha. Wow, that really is the expectation huh? That it will hover just shy of 5% and then go down. That would be nice...
