Wall Street Analysis
A number of overall U.S. economic data have been strong, and the market seems to be disillusioned with the Federal Reserve’s hopes of cutting interest rates this year, expanding bets on the terminal interest rate above 5%.
Chris Larkin, head of trading and investing at E-Trade, said: “The rebound in January doesn’t mean stock market volatility is gone for good. The Consumer Expenditure (PCE) data effectively bears this out.”
James Rutherford, director of European stocks at Federated Hermes, said: “Last week, some data spooked investors, and U.S. bond yields rose again, but on Monday, all this was actually forgotten. People have become a little numb to raising interest rates, and understand that terminal interest rates It may be higher than expected, and the market is not focused on next month’s inflation data, but the next six months, nine months, or even 12 months.”
