Fed Decision Outlook: Small Rate Cuts Will Lead to Sell-Off of U.S. Treasuries

ChainCatcher news, Glen Capelo, Managing Director of Fixed Income at Mischler Financial Group, stated that a 25 basis point rate cut by the Federal Reserve is likely to lead to a sell-off of U.S. Treasuries, although this largely depends on Powell's press conference. Michael Rosen, Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer at Angeles Investments, believes that the current bond market is pricing in the Fed's rate cut pace too aggressively. The market expects the Fed to cut rates by 250 basis points next year, a magnitude that is only possible in the case of an economic recession. Therefore, he believes that the decline in short-term U.S. Treasury yields will be lower than market expectations, while long-term yields may even start to rise from now. (Jin Shi)
