Markets are pricing in a 77% chance that the Federal Reserve will raise its benchmark interest rate before 2027.
Cointelegraph reported on September 1 that the odds of a Fed rate increase this year had risen to 77%.
That comes even as U.S. job openings for July fell short of market expectations, signaling a cooling labor market.
A weaker labor market typically reduces the need for further monetary tightening. Even so, markets continue to price in high odds of a rate increase before year-end.
