Fed’s Waller: More hikes needed, but there is ’flexibility’ about the pace
Market context: TLT: Fed Governor Waller signaling more rate hikes is bearish for long-duration Treasuries. Hawkish commentary on additional rate hikes pressures long-term Treasury prices lower and lifts yields. DXY: A more hawkish Fed stance typically supports the U.S. dollar through higher rate expectations. Signals of further Fed tightening may strengthen the dollar against major peers. SPY: Higher-for-longer rate expectations from the Fed weigh on equity valuations, especially growth stocks. Hawkish Fed guidance on additional hikes is a headwind for broad equity valuations.
