Fed Terminal Pricing Shrugs Off Large Swings In Europe

STIR

Fed terminal hike pricing is marginally higher on the day (+0.2bp, with 26bp seen for the rest of the cycle), shrugging off much larger moves for European counterparts Friday (ECB peak pricing -7bp, BoE +6bp) amid weak PMI readings/strong UK retail sales data.

  • Fed Chair Powell's 2nd day of congressional commentary yesterday did little to change the July FOMC meeting outlook: hike pricing remains 19bp, basically unchanged from Thursday (pulling back a couple of basis points from post-BoE 50bp hike surprise levels), with the rest of the near-term path looking similar including 23bp cumulative through Sep and 26bp to the Nov peak.
  • Rate spreads continue to point to cuts of ~145bp next year, and ~155bp between Sep'23 and Dec'24.
  • US PMI data at 0945ET is the most closely eyed potential rate catalyst on the schedule, with Cleveland Fed's Mester up later.
