This decision was more than a 25 basis point hike, it was a statement. The Fed and Fed Chair Warsh made it clear that they are committed to their 2% inflation target and political pressure won't change that. Now, markets are pricing in 100 basis points of hikes by next summer.
Why now
Thesis: Fed hawkishness drives rate hike repricing
Catalyst to watch: Incoming inflation and jobs data
Main risk: Hike expectations could overshoot reality
Why it matters
Markets pricing 100bp of hikes signals a hawkish Fed regime, raising borrowing costs and pressuring risk assets.
