Traders Less Certain about a Potential Fed Rate Cut in June

Market Uncertainty Rising

The market pricing shows that the odds of a June move have decreased to around 62% now, down from approximately 68% at the end of last week.

If anything, it suggests we are looking at more of a coin flip ahead of the next big set of data points in the next two weeks.

Bond Traders Reacting

Bond traders are starting to act up, with 10-year yields now up 2 bps today to 4.349% and nearing the recent 4.35% ceiling.

  • Probability of a 25 bps rate cut paired with just approximately 56% now.
  • Technical levels being tested indicate potential market shifts.

If the key level breaks, traders are expected to intensify their focus on the developments.
