Fed 2024 Implied Rates Hold Significant Further Push Higher With FOMC

STIR
  • Chair Powell didn’t do much to stir expectations for near-term meetings in the press conference but 2024 Fed Funds implied rates have pushed higher from levels just before he took the podium.
  • Rates are however still a little below highs seen shortly after the initial announcement and hawkish dot plot.
  • Cumulative hikes from an assumed 5.33% effective: +7bp for Nov, +12.5bp for Dec and +13bp to a 5.46% terminal in January.
  • Cuts from terminal: 20bp to Jun’24 (from 23bp pre-decision) and 77bp to Dec’24 (from 82bp pre-decision), and with the first cut from current levels sliding back a meeting to September.
  • The Dec’24 implied effective rate of 4.69% has climbed 12bps since the announcement, and, having only just caught up with the 4.6% from the June dot plot, now has the update 5.1% to aim for.
