October rate hike odds collapse after cooler payrolls print
Market context: TLT: Lower rate hike odds typically push long-duration Treasury prices higher as yields fall. Falling rate-hike expectations are likely to drive Treasury prices up and yields down. SPY: Cooler payrolls ease recession fears and reduce the likelihood of further Fed tightening, generally supportive for equities. Reduced tightening expectations and lower rate trajectory are typically supportive of equity valuations. DXY: Reduced Fed hawkishness relative to expectations tends to weigh on the dollar. Lower rate-hike odds diminish dollar yield support, pressuring the index.
