Context

The delay in expectations for a Fed rate cut until April 2027 suggests a more hawkish outlook than previously anticipated. This shift could reflect concerns over inflation sustainability and may impact USD strength against other currencies as markets recalibrate rate paths. Investors should monitor how this alters risk sentiment and influences fixed income spreads.
