What it means

Fed Governor Waller's explicit warning that a rate hike may come 'in the near term' if inflation data this week is hot is a genuine hawkish signal that adds new urgency beyond the ongoing yields story — historically associated with a short-term pop in front-end Treasury yields and the dollar, with additional pressure on risk assets like Bitcoin that are sensitive to tightening expectations.
