Rate hikes are hardly a ‘surprise’

Be careful subscribing to financial media framing recent central bank hikes as being a ‘surprise’.

As the charts below illustrates, the 2 year bond yields have already factored in a rise in interest rates.

I expect these government yields to fall in the coming months as they converge towards the central banks respective cash or benchmark rates.
