Large investors are warning that fears that interest rates in major economies will remain relatively high are growing, threatening to sound a painful alarm in financial markets. Global stock markets remain near record highs and demand for debt issued by the riskiest companies is strong as traders focus on expectations of a summer rate cut. But asset managers and economists now expect only minimal monetary easing, especially as the U.S. Federal Reserve faces unexpectedly persistent inflation.

"Fed chief Simmons Powell is moving more firmly toward the hawkish side," said Quincy Krosby, LPL Financial's chief global strategist.

Asian stocks started the week on a downbeat note and the dollar strengthened as investors weighed when the U.S. Federal Reserve would start cutting interest rates after another blowout jobs report. Oil prices fell nearly 2% as tensions eased in the Middle East after Israel withdrew more soldiers from southern Gaza, while gold prices fell 1% after hitting a record high on Friday as U.S. Treasury yields continued to rise. "On the positive side, the resumption of growth suggests the economy is far from recession, but it could also mean the Fed will keep interest rates higher for longer".
