🚨 **Markets are bracing for a Fed rate hike.**
The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield briefly crossed **5%**, while markets are pricing roughly a **93% chance** that the Federal Reserve raises rates this week.
Persistent inflation and higher energy prices have rapidly shifted expectations toward tighter monetary policy.
For investors, the bigger question may not be *whether* the Fed hikes — but **how many more hikes could follow**.
Higher yields could mean:
📉 More pressure on equity valuations
💵 Continued strength in the U.S. dollar
🏦 Higher borrowing costs for businesses and consumers
Wednesday’s Fed decision could set the tone for global markets heading into the final quarter of 2026.
