Fed Hike Bets Could Fade If US-Iran Tensions Ease
Wednesday's Fed meeting minutes, the first under new chair Kevin Warsh, drew a muted reaction in rates and FX. Analysts suggest that a de-escalation in US-Iran tensions could reduce expectations for further rate hikes.
The release of Wednesday’s Fed meeting minutes—the first since Kevin Warsh assumed the chair of the FOMC—prompted a relatively subdued response in both interest rate markets and foreign exchange. Market participants had been closely watching for any shift in the committee’s forward guidance.
