Trail

Connection thesis

Will the Fed increase interest rates by 25 bps after the September 2026 meeting? -- Oil at $100 and active tariff escalation are both inflationary inputs stacking over the year to the September 2026 meeting, and a Fed already facing a credibility question on inflation has more reason to hike than the market's 64% implies at this distance.
