Fed Rate Path Holding Two Cuts To Year-End

STIR FUTURES
  • Fed Funds implied rates for the May FOMC sit close to post-Mar FOMC highs with a 15.5bp hike (+1bp) from the current effective 4.83%.
  • Meetings further out have also pushed higher overnight but remain within yesterday’s range: sticking vs current effective, -15bp for Sep (+2bp), -32bp for Nov (+2.5bp) and -50bp for Dec to 4.33% (+3bp).
  • Fedspeak: Mester (’24 voter) for the first time since Feb 24 with text + Q&A but not until 1845ET. Before that, Collins (non-voter) and Gov Cook (voter) speak again, with Cook having spoken late yesterday (disinflationary process happening but we’re not there yet, still see inflation from tight labor market).
