Fed Rates Unwind Pre-Weekend Dip

STIR
  • Fed Funds implied rates have shown little sign of spillover from German CPI looking on the soft side, and instead have reversed Friday’s drift lower. It’s an unwinding of a move that a decent part of which came ahead of the weekend rather than any particular reaction to the monthly PCE data which was followed by a surprisingly large upward revision to 1Y inflation expectations in the final U.Mich survey.
  • That upward revision at the margin helps set the tone ahead of Wednesday’s FOMC decision amidst a light docket today aside from the Treasury’s quarterly marketable borrowing estimates.
  • Cumulative hikes from 5.33% effective: 0bp for Nov (unch), +5.5bp Dec (+1.5bp), +7.5bp Jan (+1bp) for a terminal of 5.41%.
  • Cuts from terminal: 27bp to Jun’24 (from 28.5bp at Friday’s close) and 80bp to Dec’24 (from 83bp). The latter remains at the high end of the rough 65-85bp range seen since US CPI on Oct 12 with its strong supercore component.
