Fed Hike Path Maintains Yesterday's Softening

STIR FUTURES
  • Implied Fed hikes nudge higher to 70bps for the Jul 27 meeting (+1bp), still well within the 66-72bp range seen for much of the post-Jun FOMC range.
  • Meetings further out hold onto yesterday’s slide after few drivers overnight and in the European morning, with 120bps for Sep and 169bp for Dec (four meetings).
  • Implied rates are then seen peaking marginally higher with 173bp of hikes to 3.31% for Feb’23 followed by 63bps of cuts to end-2023.
  • A solid calendar today, headlined by ISM services and the release of the minutes from the most recent FOMC decision. It also sees opening and closing remarks from NY Fed’s Williams, who last spoke on Jun 28, noting the debate at the July decision will be between 50 and 75bps whilst definitely seeing the need to get rates to 3-3.5% this year.
