Traders adjusted market pricing to place the next expected Federal Reserve interest rate increase in January rather than December. The shift removed full market pricing for a rate hike at any point in the remainder of the year.
Futures contracts reflected the revised timeline after recent economic data releases. The change occurred without any accompanying statement from Federal Reserve officials. Traders will continue to monitor upcoming inflation and employment reports for further adjustments to rate expectations.
