Fed Hike Expectations Touch New Highs

STIR FUTURES
  • Fed hike expectations have held their ground overnight, with FOMC-dated Fed Funds futures showing 44bps for May, new highs of 86bps for June, 152bps for Sep (four meetings) and 195bps for Dec (six meetings).
  • June shows a 67% chance of 100bps over the two meetings, something that analysts have begun to call for, with MS and TD yesterday joining BNP, GS and Nomura in looking for back-to-back 50bp hikes.
  • Ahead: Williams should offer his first post-FOMC thoughts on monetary policy at 1000ET whilst we have renewed speaking from Daly (2024), Barkin (2024) and Waller (Governor).
  • Recap: Evans (2023) was one of five dots calling for 175bps of hikes in 2022, comfortable with 25bps each meeting but open minded to a 50bp hike if it helps. Waller talked on the US’s “red hot” housing market whilst adding that the Fed could consider selling MBS in the longer run.
