Fed Rate Path Shifts Higher For 2H23 With First Republic Support

STIR FUTURES
  • Fed Funds implied hikes are moving towards the end of the session having pushed higher by the announcement of the ECB’s 50bp hike and then more durably and significantly by earlier headlines that major US banks were in talks of coordinating a rescue of First Republic before it turned out to be $30B of deposits at the bank.
  • Data on the day have been mixed, with surprisingly low initial jobless claims almost fully reversed the equally surprising uptick last week and very strong building permits, but with more dovish implications from falling non-oil import prices and a sharp fall in Philly Fed manufacturing shipments and new orders.
  • Pricing a 19bp hike for next week’s FOMC (+7bp) and a cumulative 35bp to a terminal 4.93% May (+12bp). It’s followed by now 72bp of cuts to a 4.21% at year-end (+47bps) vs 106bps at yesterdays close.
