| | | | | | Lead Stories | | | Stock investors are on notice after Wall Street's fear gauge jumps
Lu Wang and Sam Potter Bloomberg via Financial Post
From wrong-way calls on bonds to Big Tech and the economy, it's been an awful year for conventional wisdom., so when almost four in five Wall Street pros tell you the stock market is too calm, the savviest thing to do is to bet it stays that way.
That in a nutshell is the story of volatility trading at midyear, when everyone says they expect the VIX to rise, but everyone acts like it won't. Warnings blare that the United States Federal Reserve and wobbly economy are sure to shatter the peace. And yet wagers that peace will prevail in the S&P 500 rose in June to the highest level ever, Morgan Stanley's sales and trading team said.

Swaps Predict Inflation When All Else Comes Up Short; Derivatives tied to the bond market have proved prescient in determining the path of consumer prices in contrast to the apocalyptic scenarios pushed by economists.
Matthew A. Winkler - Bloomberg
A year ago this week, the US government told us that inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index soared to 9.06% in June 2022 from a year earlier, the highest reading since 1981. The report sparked a crescendo of commentary around the idea that inflation was so hot, nothing less than a recession that throws millions of Americans out of a job would get it under control. Comparisons with the runaway wage-price spiral of the 1970s were ubiquitous.

FedWatch: 'Higher for Longer' is Wall Street's Base Case Now
Eric Wallerstein - WSJ
Hot economic data has raised bets that the Federal Reserve has at least one, if not two, rate hikes to go this year. And traders expect the central bank to hold rates at high levels for some time.
The final stretch toward the Fed's 2% inflation target is expected to be difficult. Wall Street's mantra for rates remaining elevated for some timeâ"higher for longer"âis now baked into the fed-funds futures market.
