Fed Implied Rates Consolidate Post-CPI Lift

STIR
  • Fed Funds implied rates have held onto the increases seen in European hours in a small extension of yesterday’s post CPI move.
  • Cumulative cuts: 0.5bp Mar (unch from yday close), 3.5bp May (-0.5bp), 18.5bp Jun (-1bp), 31bp Jul (-2bp) and 82bp Dec (+2.5bp) – see table.
  • The Dec'24 implied rate sits 11.5bp higher than before Friday's payrolls, 7.5bp of which has come since CPI. The recent late Feb highs implied just above the 75bp of cuts for 2024 penciled by the median FOMC participant in the Dec SEP.
  • Tomorrow sees weekly jobless claims, retail sales and PPI, the latter as always watched closely for PCE implications and especially after softer medical care services in yesterday’s CPI report.
