Given the current context is early 2026, the number of rate cuts this year directly determines the risk-free rate and liquidity environment. A drastic shift in expectations (e.g., from 3 cuts to 0) would cause significant volatility in US Treasury yields (US 10Y) and trigger a major repricing of risk assets (Equities, Gold, Bitcoin).

April 28, 2026 - April 30, 2026, the price of '0 (0 bps)' surged from 38.15c to 57.6c. The reason is continued strong inflation and economic data, leading the market to further confirm the hawkish expectation that the Fed will keep rates unchanged throughout 2026. April 28, 2026 - April 29, 2026, the price of '0 (0 bps)' surged from 38.15c to 48.4c. The reason is likely that the market received further hawkish signals or stronger-than-expected economic data, leading to a sharp rise in expectations of no rate cuts for the entire year. April 9, 2026 - April 11, 2026, the price of '0 (0 bps)' surged from 32.65c to 43.2c. The reason is likely that newly released inflation data (CPI/PPI) once again exceeded expectations, further solidifying strong market bets on no rate cuts this year. April 7, 2026 - April 8, 2026, the price of '0 (0 bps)' plummeted from 42.65c to 32.4c. The reason is likely new economic data or Fed official remarks that slightly eased inflation concerns, cooling extreme no-cut expectations. April 3, 2026 - April 7, 2026, the price of '0 (0 bps)' surged from 31.0c to 42.65c. The reason is likely strong recent economic data (such as non-farm payrolls or inflation metrics), which further diminished market expectations for Fed rate cuts. March 26, 2026 - March 27, 2026, the price of '0 (0 bps)' surged from 28.15c to 40.3c. The reason is likely the market digesting hotter-than-expected inflation data or hawkish pushback from Fed officials, causing the 'no rate cut' expectation to quickly regain ground and hit new highs. March 23, 2026 - March 26, 2026, the price of '0 (0 bps)' continued to fall back from 37.8c to 28.15c. The reason is a correction of the overbought sentiment caused by the previous oil price panic, with traders taking profits, and capital flowing back into moderate options like '2 cuts' and '3 cuts'. March 19, 2026 - March 23, 2026, the price of '0 (0 bps)' surged from 26.95c to 37.8c. The reason is the market's violent repricing of the hawkish signals from the March 18 FOMC meeting and the subsequent Middle East oil shock, causing the 'stagflation/no cuts' narrative to rapidly become dominant.
