【Laffer Tengler: Fed Needs to Raise Rates or Bond Market May Face Larger Sell-off】 (1) Byron Anderson, head of fixed income at Laffer Tengler Investments, said the market currently believes that high inflation still needs to be contained; if the Fed keeps interest rates unchanged, this narrative could trigger a further sell-off in the bond market. (2) He said, “I think the Fed needs to raise rates, or it may face a larger sell-off, and the market currently expects a more than 90% probability of a rate hike.” (3) Anderson added that with multiple uncertainties in the economy and various intertwined factors still at play, it is difficult to find a catalyst to drive the bond market up, “so we continue to hedge risks in our portfolios.” (4) He also said that the Fed faced a rather tricky situation on Wednesday.
