Back To Less Than 5 Fed Hikes Priced For 2022

STIR FUTURES
  • Hikes implied by Fed Funds futures are back close to where they were as the US came in, after steadily reversing an increase.
  • Pricing is just off new lows as it struggles to fully price liftoff this month (23.5bps) and no longer has three consecutive hikes through to June (67bps), nor two for that matter with a cumulative 48bps for the May meeting.
  • 2022 pricing is down particularly heavily on the day, at 118bps having been 138bps early this month and sustained 160bp the day after Russia’s initial invasion. This takes it back to seen immediately after Powell's surprisingly hawkish press conference on Jan 26, prior to the strong January payrolls and CPI reports.
