Impact Assessment · Quick Read
The shift in probabilities suggests markets are pricing in a higher likelihood of tightening monetary policy sooner than previously anticipated. A 63.4% chance of a September hike could weigh on risk assets sensitive to yield curves, particularly growth-oriented sectors. The non-trivial 16.9% probability of a 50bps move by October introduces tail risk for leveraged positions assuming a gradual easing path.
