The current pricing of interest rate swaps shows that the market expects the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates by 0.25 percentage points three times by June next year. Some traders have increased their protective positions through SOFR options to cope with the risk of lower than expected interest rate hikes. In the past week of March 2027, the demand for put options on SOFR options has increased, and the rise in oil prices and long-term US bond yields exceeding 5% are seen as factors limiting the Federal Reserve's room for interest rate hikes.
