Investors need to be looking past September to the end of Jerome Powell’s term, says John Petrides. “The market is going to start pricing in that whoever the next Fed Chair is, they’ll be dovish.” He says the market will assume the new Fed Chair will be in-line with President Trump’s desire to lower rates. However, Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ and other U.S. policies are increasing debt, potentially straining demand in the bond market. Thus, he thinks the front end of the curve will come down while the longer end remains higher, creating a wider spread.
