Fed Rates Resume Shift Back To Post Data Highs

STIR
  • Fed Funds implied hikes have been grinding higher in recent hours with some apparent progress in debt talks. They get back to post-GDP/initial claims highs for the June meeting and closer to them for subsequent meetings.
  • Pertinent points: The terminal implied effective rate is 5.32% for July, i.e. back to pricing 24bp of hikes over the two meetings with just over 50% likelihood of a hike in June (+13bp).
  • The 40bps of cuts from the terminal to year-end leaves the Dec rate just 16bp below current levels, at 4.92%. It remains off the 5% touched after the data but has still climbed another 9bps today.
  • Both July and Dec rates are at highs since Mar 10.
  • Cumulative change from 5.08% effective: +13bp Jun (+2.5bp on the day), +24.5bp Jul (+4.5bp), +19bp Sep (+7.5bp), +2.5bp Nov (+8bp), -16bp Dec (+9.5bp), -33bp Jan (+10bp).
