Goldman Sachs exec says traders right on Fed rate hike bets in World Economy News 14/06/2026 A Goldman Sachs Group Inc. executive said traders have positioned themselves correctly for potential Federal Reserve interest rate increases to address rising inflation driven by war. Muhammad Qubbaj, co-head of US interest rate products at Goldman Sachs, said bond traders are making appropriate bets on higher borrowing costs given the combination of elevated prices, a strong US economy, and increased corporate spending on artificial intelligence. “Things are looking resilient in the economy out there,” Qubbaj said on a podcast published by the bank Friday. “So we feel that the market is fairly pricing what the FOMC path should be here on a probability-adjusted basis.” Bond traders currently see about a 75% probability that the Fed, under Chairman Kevin Warsh, will raise rates before the end of this year. Markets have fully priced in a rate increase by March 2027. The Fed is widely expected to keep its benchmark rate unchanged at next week’s meeting. Qubbaj views the June meeting as an important indicator of Warsh’s approach. “Will he basically lay a stake and come in fighting? Or is he going to be conciliatory, consensus building, and calming? Definitely think it should be the latter,” he said. Source: Investing.com 2026-06-14 hellenicshippingnews... tweet Share
