TLT: Easing Fed hike bets typically push long-duration Treasury prices higher Lower rate-hike odds are positive for long-dated Treasuries, pushing prices up and yields down. DXY: A weaker dollar outlook often accompanies dovish Fed repricing Reduced hawkish Fed expectations tend to weigh on the dollar. SPY: Macro rate path is a key driver of equity valuations Lower rate-hike odds generally support equity multiples, though weak jobs data signals softer growth.
