The Fed Is Now Expected to Hike Twice This Year

2 (50 bps): leaning yes (64%)

The 10-Year Treasury Yield Is Very Likely to Hit 5.1% Before Year-End

very likely (90%)

virtually certain (98%)

What had been merely likely is now virtually certain: the Fed's 2% target is not a live question for this year, it is a memory. A surge in the 'above 3.5%' contract suggests the real debate has shifted to how far above 3% inflation lands, not whether it stays there.
