TREE NEWS reports: Traders reduced wagers on a Federal Reserve rate hike in October after New York Fed President John Williams said there is no rush to act. The market now expects the Fed to raise rates only once more by the end of the year.
Traders Cut Bets on Fed Rate Hike in October After Williams Comments
The reaction is less about Williams himself than about how thin the market's conviction had become: a single comment was enough to pull forward expectations back to a single hike. That sensitivity matters for crypto and RWA desks, where positioning has leaned on the rate path as a proxy for risk appetite. The open question is whether this repricing holds through the next round of Fed communication, or fades as it has after similar pushback episodes.
