Double Trouble: Investors Fight the Fed on Two Fronts
Updated Dec. 8, 2023 12:03 am ETInvestors are betting against the Fed—twice over. The first bet is the sudden turn from expecting the Federal Reserve to keep rates higher for longer to instead expecting rapid and deep cuts next year.The second bet is almost the exact opposite, that the Fed will have to keep rates much higher in the long run than it says it will.
