🚨 Surprise: a quick twist in interest-rate expectations within minutes! 🇺🇸🔥
While Federal Chairman Kevin Warsh was delivering his speech in Jackson Hole, the market-implied odds of a rate hike jumped from:
📊 30% ⬅️ 57%
Meaning: during the very same speech, the market shifted from viewing a rate hike as a less likely scenario to pricing it with a probability exceeding 50%.
Why? Warsh’s message was more hawkish than expected:
🔹 Inflation is still high.
🔹 The 2% target remains unchanged.
🔹 The labor market is still strong.
🔹 Financial conditions are not tight.
🔹 And the Federal Reserve still has work to finish the fight against inflation.
🔥 This isn’t just talk... the market repriced the interest-rate path directly while Warsh was speaking.
👀 From 30% to 57% within a single speech... Jackson Hole rapidly changed market expectations.
