Fed Implied Rates Nudge Lower With Weak European PMIs

STIR
  • Fed Funds implied rates have more than reversed some mild overnight strength to sit a little lower on the day after a slew of weak preliminary June PMI readings across the Eurozone and UK.
  • Cumulative cuts from 5.33% effective are within yesterday’s range: 3bp Jul (unch), 19bp Sep (-1bp), 27bp Nov (-1bp), 48bp Dec (-1bp) and 62bp Jan (-1bp).
  • US flash PMIs headline today’s docket. There is no scheduled Fedspeak, with Governor Waller (voter) set to kickstart next week’s schedule early on with opening remarks in Italy.
  • Overnight, Barkin (’24 voter) said the impact of Fed rate hikes will hit in time whilst there’s no question that frothy asset markets are supportive of spending. He needs to see more conviction and clarity on inflation before cutting, with data then determining further moves after the first cut.
  • Goolsbee (’25 voter) meanwhile said in an unscheduled Fox News appearance that the Fed can cut if it sees more good inflation reports and that it doesn’t need annual inflation to hit 2% before cutting rates.
