Fed Hikes Higher Prior To US CPI

STIR FUTURES
  • Hikes implied by FOMC-dated Fed Funds futures have firmed modestly for upcoming meetings, with March up to 28bps and June edging a little over 3.5x25bp hikes (90bps)
  • Further out, Dec still sits at 161bp, little changed from much of yesterday’s US session having increased strongly throughout the week from ~135bps.
  • US CPI at 0830ET. Whilst it seems unlikely to sway expectations of a 25bp hike next week, we see two-way risk to the path further out. Preview: https://marketnews.com/mni-us-cpi-preview-mar-2022
