The Fed just delivered its first rate hike in over three years, led by Kevin Warsh — a bold move signaling serious inflation-fighting intent and renewed independence. Global central banks are feeling the ripple effect: BoE may hold steady but could hike later this year, while BoJ is expected to raise rates Friday. Markets reacted sharply, with Treasury yields surging to their highest since mid-2024 and the dollar rallying — though long bonds held firm under 5%. Stocks found some relief, with Asian markets up and U.S./Europe futures pointing higher. But calm may be fleeting: recurring supply shocks, stubborn inflation, and rising rates are forcing global economies into a new, tighter reality. Watch for key data ahead — BoE’s decision today, Eurozone inflation, and U.S. jobless claims — as they’ll shape the next chapter of monetary policy.
