Group 1 - The bond market traders are increasing their bets on aggressive interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve next year, driven by speculation about potential changes in the Fed's leadership under President Trump [1][4] - The significant widening of the SOFR futures yield spread indicates that investors expect the Fed to cut rates more than previously anticipated between 2025 and 2026, potentially setting new records for the depth and breadth of the easing cycle [3][4] - Recent strong economic indicators, such as stable employment and consumer demand, initially led traders to believe that the Fed would delay rate cuts, but this sentiment shifted following Trump's criticism of Fed Chair Powell [3][4] Group 2 - Following Trump's intensified criticism of Powell's rate hike tendencies, market expectations for rate cuts have dramatically changed, with investors now anticipating a 76 basis point cut next year, up from 25 basis points in April [4][5] - The belief that Powell's successor will be more compliant with Trump's demands for rate cuts has become a core driver of this market shift, despite Powell's current position and the Fed's emphasis on its independence [5][6] - The pricing changes in the SOFR futures market are beginning to affect actual financing costs, leading to a slight decrease in long-term bond issuance rates as companies rush to secure lower funding costs [6]
