Trader sentiment on Federal Reserve rate hikes reflects caution amid surging inflation pressures, with the March 2026 CPI report—released April 10—showing a 3.3% year-over-year rise, the hottest since May 2024 and fueled by energy costs from Middle East tensions. Despite this, CME FedWatch Tool implies over 97% probability of holding the federal funds target range at 3.50%-3.75% for the April 28-29 FOMC meeting, aligning with March policy statement emphasizing data dependence. Fed minutes from that meeting, released early this week, reveal some officials' openness to hikes if disinflation stalls, amid resilient labor markets and Treasury yields climbing above 4.2%. Key watch: April CPI on May 12 ahead of June FOMC.
