    July Fed Hike Probability Triples to 34.7% on Inflation and Oil Risks

    Question

    July Fed Hike Probability Triples to 34.7% on Inflation and Oil Risks

    Direct answer

    The sudden shift in FedWatch data reflects a growing consensus that the Fed cannot ignore the combination of 3.4% Core PCE and the recent spike in energy prices. The deterioration of U.S.-Iran diplomatic efforts has removed a key 'peace dividend' expectation from the market. Investors are now hedging for a 'hawkish hold' or a 25bps hike, which would significantly disrupt the current equity valuation multiples in the tech sector.
