Edward Al Hussainy, senior interest rate and currency analyst at Columbia Threadneedle, thinks any debt ceiling tensions would eventually be resolved, calling the issue "a well rehearsed storyline."

The Federal Reserve will hold rates at about 5% for an extended time, Goldman Sachs multi-asset solutions co-CIO, Maria Vassalou, said. "What the market is pricing in, in terms of terminal rate, may actually be way too optimistic." And if inflation expectations become deeply entrenched, she added, the Fed may be forced to push the terminal rate higher than expected. "So the expectation is they will raise rates, probably about 5% given incoming data, and they will have to stay at this restrictive level for a period to come." Early next year, additional increases are seen that would bring the fed funds rate at or just above 5%.
