FOMC Minutes Could Provide Markets With Sobering Reminder Of 'Higher For Longer'
Portfolio Pulse from Neil Dennis
The upcoming release of the FOMC minutes may serve as a reality check for markets that have recently adopted a dovish view on interest rates. Despite slowing inflation, the Fed may maintain a 'higher for longer' interest rate stance. The Global X Interest Rate Hedge ETF (RATE) has seen a decline in value, while the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) has risen following positive inflation data. Analysts are not expecting major surprises from the minutes but suggest that the market may be overly optimistic about rate cuts.
