The desk believes that interest rate expectations remain largely unchanged despite geopolitical tensions, with central banks maintaining a hawkish stance. Per the full note [source], the RBNZ is projected to hike rates by 83 bps by year-end, while the ECB shows a 77% probability of a hike at its next meeting. This aligns with our view that the Fed may soon pivot away from its easing bias, especially if geopolitical conditions stabilize. However, the market's current positioning appears overly optimistic regarding rate hikes from the BoJ and SNB, which may not materialize as expected.
