Fed may take time to make next interest rate move, Jefferson says
Market context: SPY: Fed rate expectations directly drive broad equity index moves. Fed officials pushing back on an October rate hike reduces near-term tightening expectations and supports equity valuations. TLT: Long-duration Treasuries are highly sensitive to Fed rate path expectations. Reduced odds of an October rate hike push long-term yields lower, lifting long-duration Treasury prices. DXY: The dollar is sensitive to shifts in Fed rate expectations. Lower odds of an imminent Fed hike weaken the dollar relative to expectations of higher US rates.
