Fed Rates Hold Modest Waller Lift, Goolsbee Last Before Blackout

STIR
  • Fed Funds implied rates have seen a slight lift overnight, buoyed by Gov Waller (voter) hawkish remarks after the close but still only back to levels after Wednesday’s CPI.
  • Pertinent moves: +22bp Jul (+0.5bp on the day) with cumulative +30bp terminal Nov (+1bp). Cumulative 7bp of cuts to Dec’23 (from 8bp), 82bp to Jun’24 (from 84bp) and 160bp to Dec’24 (from 164bp).
  • Waller cited shorter mon pol lags owing to forward guidance and the magnitude of the tightening. Worth reading if missed: https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/speech/waller20230713a.htm
  • Goolsbee (’23 voter) is the last of the formally scheduled speakers ahead of the media blackout starting tonight, in a Fox News interview at 0910ET. Typically at the more dovish end of the spectrum, he was undecided on what the Fed should do this month but saw a decent chance of further tightening in the pipeline when speaking post-payrolls last week.
