Bond traders begging for rate hikes — contrarian setup in Treasuries if Fed surprises

Bond traders are aggressively expecting the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates to fight stubbornly high inflation, which would drive mortgage and credit card rates even higher.

Idea

Bond traders are practically begging the Fed to hike interest rates, which means this expectation is already baked into current bond prices. Long-term Treasury bonds have been crushed lately as yields surged. If the Fed ultimately decides to pause to avoid crashing the economy, bond prices will snap back violently higher. Buying bonds while everyone is terrified is a classic contrarian play.
