5% Terminal Fed Rate

STIR FUTURES
  • Fed Funds implied hikes see a modest extension of yesterday’s large one directional increase through the US session especially further out into 2023.
  • The 77.5bp for Nov 2 is little changed this week but beyond, showing 144.5bp to 4.53% for Dec’22, with a terminal 5% in May’23 (+7bp from 0600ET yesterday) and 4.70% for Dec’23 (+12bp).
  • Ahead: Harker (’23 voter) discusses econ outlook with text at 1200ET whilst Governors Jefferson, Cook and Bowman are speaking at a careers event or giving opening remarks.
  • Recap of latest from Bullard and Evans:
    • Bullard (’22): Won’t prejudge what rate move he backs at Dec meeting but could opt to move 2023 tightening into 2022. Have to react if inflation doesn’t fall as forecast but also see possibility of good inflation dynamics in ’23. Fed shouldn’t react to declines in stock market.
    • Evans (’23): Hopeful hikes shown in Fed Sept dot plot will be enough, Fed honing in on appropriate level of restrictiveness. Sees reasons inflation should improve before too long but risks to inflation are to the upside.
