This week’s Fed rate hike decision. Complacency Could Spell Danger. But Also OPPORTUNITY.

The Federal Reserve (Fed) has raised interest rates 10 times since March 2022. The target range for the federal funds rate is currently 5.00% to 5.25%. The probability of a rate hike in the next meeting is low, at 18.6%. However, there have been instances in the past where the Fed has surprised markets by raising rates even when the probability of a rate hike was low.

However, the idea of a skip, a topic which even Fed officials have broached, would seem to pre-commit to another hike, and this is not typically the central bank's modus operandi. Moreover, it may be difficult for the Fed to resume hikes in July if inflation...
