Big moves following yesterday's Fed dot plot

STIR FUTURES
  • Yesterday's 75bp Fed hike was fully expected, but the dot plot was higher than many had expected - leaving the meeting with an overall hawkish tone.
  • Eurodollar futures have seen Whites/Reds up to 25 ticks lower on a 2-day change, with markets now pricing 70bp for the November Fed meeting, 119bp by year-end and a peak of 158bp by May 2023 before the curve starts to invert.
  • Euribor futures are up to 14.5 ticks lower this morning, meaning a 22.5 tick move since Tuesday's close for the Dec-23 contract. Markets now price just under 300bp of further hikes by the June 2023 meeting.
  • Ahead of today's BOE policy decision, markets price 67bp. Markets now fully price 325bp of hikes by August 2023 - equivalent to a Bank Rate of 5.00%. If we don't see a 75bp hike today this will be very difficult to acheive. SONIA futures are down double digits on the day with the Mar-24 future having moved 27 ticks lower since Tuesday's close.
