  • It has left just +3.5bp of tightening with the Dec meeting (-1.5bp on the presser for -2.5bp since before the decision announcement), building to a cumulative +5.5bp to the January terminal of 5.39% (-2bp on the presser and -3.5bp since the decision).
  • It’s followed by 90bp of cuts to end-2024, from 85bp before the presser and 82bp before the decision.
