The Fed pressed pause on its interest-rate increases this month after boosting borrowing costs 10 times since early 2022. The move spurred a wave of commentary given the central bank at once held rates and signaled more hikes. "It seems like the unanimity of opinion that we need more rate hikes has been clear, but the path of rate hikes is all over the place," he added. "It was what I would call, an awkward but hawkish pause," he added. Peter Schiff, chief global strategist at Euro Pacific Capital"Don't believe the hype on the Fed's hawkish pause on rates.

While the market expected a hawkish pause, this is even a little bit more hawkish than market participants anticipated and that’s why you’re having a negative reaction in risk assets. So, it does suggest that the Fed is looking to tighten policy further, but the big question is can the Fed credibly commit to two more rate hikes if they just decided to actually hold rates steady. And what is the threshold for further rate hikes? “GEORGE YOUNG, PORTFOLIO MANAGER, VILLERE & CO, NEW ORLEANS"This a pregnant pause, meaning that they said they're going to pause hikes today but they're going to increase later.

There's good news for fixed-income investors this year, according to Goldman Sachs Asset Management. This year, inflation and the pace of monetary tightening will slow down, along with economic growth, Goldman said. We believe the sharp rise in yields in 2022 presents fixed income investors with the most attractive income and total return potential in more than a decade," they said. Goldman Sachs says it manages $1 trillion in fixed-income assets. Near term, Goldman Sachs Asset Management favors short-duration and high-quality fixed-income assets such as investment-grade credit and agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS).
