💬 Wall Street is pricing in a near-certain hike at tomorrow's 2am decision — after a week like this, would a surprise hold be the bigger shock?

📊 Quick Recap — What Moved & Why

🇺🇸 US — Fed Decision Looms as 20-Year Yield Hits Record

🔑 Key Event: A 20-year Treasury auction drew a record 5.420% yield, breaking the Oct 2023 high — a weak auction (biggest tail since 2024, lowest indirect-bidder share on record). Markets now price ~90%+ odds of a hike at tomorrow's 2am decision, the first in three years.

@TheCollector : Based on recent past, when the CME FedWatch tool indicates more than 60% rate hike probability into the FOMC meeting, a rate hike will happen. The probability is now close to 90%, so it's very likely.
