Key Quote
Commenting on the first quarter results, Robert E. Cauley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “The first quarter of 2022 was extremely volatile as the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) pivoted quickly from unprecedented monetary policy accommodation to the rapid removal of the accommodation. The Fed announced their first rate hike of the cycle at their March 2022 meeting of 25 basis points and last week announced another hike, this time of 50 basis points and stated 50 basis point hikes were on the table for the June 2022 and July 2022 meetings as well. Current market pricing in the futures markets implies the Fed will raise the target for the Fed Funds rate to approximately 2.70% by the end of 2022 and to slightly over 3.00% by the second quarter of 2023.”
