October rate hike odds retreat below 30%
Market context: SPY: Shifting Fed rate hike odds directly affect equity valuation through discount rates and risk sentiment. Lower October rate hike odds reduce near-term policy headwinds and are generally supportive for broad U.S. equities. TLT: Reduced rate hike odds lower expected terminal rates, supporting long-duration Treasury prices. Retreating Fed hike odds push long-term Treasury yields lower and bond prices higher. DXY: Fed rate path expectations are a primary driver of dollar index direction. Lower U.S. rate hike odds relative to other central banks tend to soften dollar support.
