I think the banks are right about one thing: the 25bp hike itself is largely priced in. With markets putting roughly 90%+ odds on it, the bigger risk is not Wednesday’s hike but what comes next.
If the Fed signals this is a limited adjustment, earnings and growth can probably keep supporting equities. But if oil, inflation and yields force markets to price a longer hiking cycle, “priced in” gets recalculated very quickly. With the 10Y around 5%, I’m watching the Fed’s message more than the 25bp headline.
