In rates, a 100% probability of four FOMC rate hikes in 2022 is priced into the front of the yield curve with some, like Goldman Sachs, predicting a hike at every meeting starting March 16 or seven in total. Meanwhile, the Treasury yield curve flattened as signs point to a slowing recovery. Combining a slow down with the specter of the Fed aggressively tightening policy is most unpleasant.
