Hopes of Fed Rate Cut in March Appears Off the Table -- Market Talk
Dow Jones14:24
0624 GMT - For the Federal Reserve, January's solid U.S. employment data "should kill off any lingering suspicion of a rate cut in March," Monex's Nick Rees says in a note. However, Monex maintains its expectation for now that the Fed will resume rate cuts in June. "Still, for now, markets are left trading a solid set of headline figures, with that naturally seeing rate cut expectations pared," the head of macro research says. Markets price in a 92% probability of unchanged Fed rates in March and 8% for a 25-basis-point rate reduction, according to LSEG. (emese.bartha@wsj.com)
