The market's talking up ordsprog

The market's talking up 5 percent (fed funds rate) now, and so I think the market is clearly expecting him to be more hawkish.

The market is higher, but we're not talking huge moves here. The market is looking at a plateau in the fed funds rate at or around 5%.

But if he makes remarks that are more hawkish than the market is expecting to hear, US Treasuries may be sold heavily and that may hurt the JGB market.

[Over the past two weeks, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury has skipped from 5.08 percent to 5.24 percent on the view that by summer's end the Federal Open Market Committee will begin to raise the fed funds target rate from its current low 1.75 percent.] If the economy gains visible momentum, ... we are vulnerable to further rate pressures.

The market has a strong predisposition to expecting a peak at 4.5 percent, as no month has a 4.75-percent rate completely discounted.

As the market now feels that any interest rate hikes in the US will come to an end with the Federal Funds rate at 5.0 percent, the dollar is likely to remain exposed to downside risk.

Those who expect further rate hikes can note that the real Fed Funds rate has yet to reach at least 3 percent, ... But with oil prices rising 58 percent since last June (when rates started to rise) and with U.S. manufacturing nearing contraction, the bond market is telling the Fed that it had better not raise rates further.

It reduces the rate of return on that $6.5 trillion hiding in money-market accounts. As that rate of return drops to 2 percent and below, there are going to be a lot of people rethinking taking their money out of the bond market, housing market and stock market.

The market was pricing in Fed funds rate at 4.25 percent by the year end at one point, now it has been pushed back to 3.75 percent. The dollar will struggle in this environment.

The Federal Reserve has responded to the balance of market forces by gradually raising the federal funds rate over the past year, ... Certainly, to have done otherwise -- to have held the federal funds rate at last year's level even as credit demands and market interest rates rose -- would have required an inappropriately inflationary expansion of liquidity.

He was paving the way for another rate hike. He knew full well that with this type of language the market would price in a hike to a 5 percent funds rate.

Overall, the trend toward flattening is not over. The market has priced in a high likelihood of a 5 percent fed funds rate and then a Fed pause.

They should calculate what their rate would be if adjusted in today's market and compare that with today's fixed-rate market and assess their personal situation. Do they have adequate funds to reduce or pay off their mortgage at the end of the adjustment period?

The market's still concerned about rates. People are now expecting three more rate hikes rather than two. That's why the market's crashed this week.

Yesterday, the Fed's effective funds rate, the average of the funds rate that exists throughout the day, was 1.25 percent, way below their new 3 percent target. Today, it's even softer than that, below 1 percent.
