Fed Rates Taking Stock Ahead Of Monthly PCE Report

STIR
  • Fed Funds implied rates for meetings over the next six months have on balance held steady overnight after yesterday’s large swings on global growth factors before stronger than expected US data.
  • The September rate is +0.8bp on the day but still has a first 25bp cut more than fully priced, whilst the Dec and Jan rates are ~0.5bp lower.
  • Cumulative cuts from 5.33% effective: 1.5bp Jul, 28bp Sep, 45bp Nov, 68bp Dec and 84bp Jan.
  • Today sees the monthly PCE report in focus after yesterday’s Q2 upside surprises for both core PCE inflation and consumer spending, with both watched to see where those stronger readings fell across the quarter.
  • Our bias would be that the earlier in the quarter, especially April, the greater the change of a partial retracement of yesterday’s hawkish rebound.
