Fed Rate Path Consolidates Powell Shift Higher

STIR
  • Fed Funds implied rates consolidate yesterday’s shift higher after a hawkish reaction to Powell yesterday mostly maintained similar comments to his Nov 1 FOMC appearance.
  • Additional tightening is seen peaking with a cumulative 5.5bp over the next two meetings.
  • The first cut from current levels is seen in July (cumulative 34bp) having shifted back from June pre-Powell.
  • Cumulative cuts from peak to end-2024 stand at 82bp vs 88bp pre Powell and 87bp pre payrolls.
  • Today’s Fedspeak schedule, Daly for the first time in a month:
  • 0730ET Logan (’23) at ECB money markets conference (text, no Q&A) – last heard Nov 7 (inflation readings look like trending toward 3% not 2%, must stay focused on curbing inflation in timely way).
  • 0900ET Bostic (’24) on economic mobility (no text, Q&A) – last heard Nov 11 (policy likely sufficiently restrictive, will stay restrictive until sure about 2% inflation)
  • 1300ET Daly (’24) on CNBC - last heard Oct 10 (need more improvement for nonhousing services inflation, tight conditions could be equivalent to another rate hike)
