STIR: Fed Rates Extend Reversal Of Hawkish Tilt On FOMC
STIR
- Fed Funds implied rates have continued to reverse the hawkish tilt higher seen with the initial FOMC decision, extending what at the time was only a modest paring with Powell’s press conference.
- Only March holds a notable increase compared to pre-FOMC levels (+2.5bps to leave only 5bp of cuts priced) whilst implied rates from September onwards are a little lower.
- The 48bp of cuts for 2025 is off Monday’s recent dovish extremes of 53bp but is still elevated compared to most of January.
- Cumulative cuts from 4.33% effective: 5bp Mar, 14bp May, 25bp Jun, 31bp Jul and 48bp Dec.
- SOFR futures show larger post-FOMC declines, currently sitting ~5bps lower for 2027 contracts.
