The global market jumped on the bandwagon of Fed policy "repricing"--a short word for the process of adjusting today's interest rates to reflect a Fed rate hike campaign that now includes 2 consecutive 50bp hikes in the next 2 Fed meetings as opposed to the 25bp hikes previously seen as ironclad. Domestic traders had no reason to fade the move, especially with stocks rising more than 1% (in other words, only rates are freaked out by Powell and his kettle of ultra hawkish hawks).
