Fed Cut Expectations Climb As Myriad Of Factors Dampen GDP Beat

STIR
  • Fed Funds implied rates have slumped today despite real GDP exceeding expectations (4.9 vs cons 4.5), landing with a particularly sharp increase in continuing jobless claims, a small miss for core PCE, and the fact inventories added 1.3pps to GDP growth. The Atlanta Fed GDPNow tracking 5.4% ahead of the release had also likely helped gear market expectations for a particularly strong GDP print.
  • It’s seen the terminal fall to just +7bps of further hikes to an effective 5.40% in January (-2.5bp since the data) whilst cuts to end-2024 have increased to 80bps from 73bps prior.
  • These cuts are back at the high end of the circa 65-85bp range seen since US CPI on Oct 12 with its strong supercore print.
  • Tomorrow sees monthly PCE including the core PCE deflator, indicated in today’s Q3 advance to have increased marginally under 0.23% M/M if there are no revisions to the prior monthly profile.
