★Stocks and bonds struggle as traders see chances of Fed rate hike soar above 50% — up sharply from earlier this week
Strategic Analysis // Ian Gross
"Rising oil prices are making a Fed rate cut this year unlikely, and now a hike is on the table. This shift means higher borrowing costs for businesses and consumers, directly impacting corporate profits and household spending. Investors should brace for continued market volatility and re-evaluate their portfolio strategies."
