Fed seen on pause in October after inflation data
Market context: SPY: Fed rate-path expectations directly drive equity valuations. A likely October pause reduces near-term recession risk and supports equities, especially rate-sensitive sectors. DXY: Rate-path expectations versus other central banks influence the dollar. A Fed pause versus peers still hiking could cap dollar upside in the near term. TLT: Sticky inflation and a pause shape long-end Treasury yields. Persistent inflation expectations may keep long-duration yields elevated, limiting TLT upside. XLF: Banks are sensitive to the rate path and yield curve.
