Fed Rates Rangebound Ahead Of Data Deluge; Williams First Up

STIR
  • Fed Funds implied rates sit in the higher end of recent ranges from the past two weeks (but still firmly within CPI-induced ranges) ahead of a deluge of data including a range of labor indicators before ISM services.
  • Cumulative cuts from 5.33% effective: 2.5bp Jul, 18bp Sep, 26bp Nov, 45bp Dec and 58bp Jan.
  • Today’s scheduled Fedspeak is confined to NY Fed’s Williams at 0700ET in a potentially important panel on the drivers of equilibrium interest rates (text + Q&A), although Powell didn’t materially move markets yesterday.
  • Williams, typically one of the more dovish members of the FOMC, said on Monday that he’s confident the Fed is on path to achieving 2% inflation whilst his last more detailed commentary on Jun 18 was that he expects rates to fall to more normal levels in the next few years.
  • It’s followed by the FOMC minutes – see the MNI Preview here: https://roar-assets-auto.rbl.ms/files/65084/FedMinutesPreview-July2024.pdf
