The Fed and the market are both right
Money is pouring into money market funds as investors seek safety: $286bn in March, the FT reports.

That’s a lot, and it’s especially a lot given that what the Fed announced on Wednesday was a 25 basis point rate increase, and that the Open Market Committee’s “dot plot,” showing each member’s future policy expectations, shows there is at least one more hike to come this year.
