STIR
  • Fed Funds implied rates are holding the bulk of the shunt higher after surprise upward revisions to Q1 GDP and a drop in both initial and continuing jobless claims.
  • It was a move that briefly saw 5Y real yields exceeds 2% for the first time since early 2008, having poked above cycle highs seen in late-Sep and mid-Oct towards the end of the Fed hiking in 75bp clips.
  • There is currently +21bp priced for Jul (+2bp on the day), the terminal remains in Nov but now a cumulative +36bp (+6bp), with just 3bp of cuts to year-end (+9bp).
  • Even larger moves for 2024 see a significant trimming in inversion, with now 59bp of cuts from terminal to Jun’24 (from 72bp yesterday) and 140bp of cuts from terminal to Dec’24 (from 147bps).
  • Tomorrow offers a fresh test of this move, with monthly PCE for May (after today's downward revision in core PCE from 4.96% to 4.88% annualized was faded), the MNI Chicago PMI offering a last hint at manufacturing activity ahead of Monday’s ISM survey and the finalized U.Mich survey.
