[Probability of a 25 Basis Point Rate Hike by the Fed in October Rises to 69.7%] CME FedWatch data shows that the probability of the Federal Reserve maintaining the 3.75%-4.00% interest rate range unchanged at its October meeting is 30.3%, while the probability of a 25 basis point rate hike has risen to 69.7%. Market forecasts indicate a 6.5% probability that the Fed will keep the original interest rate unchanged through December, a 38.7% probability of a cumulative 25 basis point hike this year, and a 54.8% probability of a cumulative 50 basis point hike. (Source: Jin10) AI Interpretation: The market's pricing of the Federal Reserve's rate hike trajectory has shifted significantly, with expectations for high interest rates rapidly strengthening. The current probability distribution clearly points to the continuation of tightening policies, directly dampening market optimism about a pivot in monetary policy. Capital flows are tilting toward high-yield assets, further intensifying the pressure of tightening financial conditions. This pricing logic has completely closed the window for rate cuts in the short term, and the market has fully accepted the reality of prolonged high interest rates.
