  • Fed Funds implied rates have pulled back off overnight highs but nevertheless have built on the extension on the initial post-payrolls lift seen later in Friday’s session.
  • Cumulative cuts from 5.33% effective: 2bp May, 13.5bp Jun, 23bp Jul, 39bp Jul and 64bp Dec.
  • The latter comes from an implied rate some 9bps higher than pre-payrolls levels, and pushes more notably above the median FOMC dot for 75bp of cuts.
  • Friday saw preeminent FOMC hawks Bowman and Logan say it’s “still not yet” time/“much too soon” to talk about rate cuts.
