Why Central Banks Are Raising Rates Again

Morgan Stanley expects the Fed, ECB, and BoJ to hike further on resilient growth and energy inflation, favoring a stronger dollar into next year.

• Fed pivot: Morgan Stanley now expects two more Fed hikes (December, March) taking the terminal rate to 4.25–4.5%, reversing an earlier no-hike call.
• Restrictiveness, not just inflation: Carpenter says the key signal was the Fed's view that policy isn't sufficiently restrictive yet, not just energy-driven inflation.
