Fed Hikes Holding Onto Post-Payrolls Increase

STIR FUTURES
  • Implied hikes are little changed from Friday’s close for upcoming meetings, with 74bp for Jul and 130bp for Sep.
  • They’ve softened further out, with 186bp to Dec (-3bps) and a peak 196bps to Mar’23 (-4bps) but still keep at least half the increase from Friday’s payrolls report. It sees the curve modestly more inverted thereafter, with 55bp of cuts to end-2023.
  • Fedspeak: NY Fed’s Williams is scheduled to speak on the Libor transition at 1400ET in what should see limited mon pol discussion, but in any case, he repeated on Friday that he sees a July rate hike of 50bp or 75bp as the right positioning and a year-end rate of 3-3.5% remains the right thing to do. A US recession is not his base case, but tighter financial conditions are starting to have an effect and he will closely watch data over the next 3-6 months for a better read.
