Finishing Week With End-2024 Fed Pricing Nearly Aligned With Dot

STIR
  • Fed Funds implied rates have seen some reasonable fluctuations today, including a quick reversal after dipping on particularly soft U.Mich inflation expectations, but are ultimately back near levels seen before Wednesday’s CPI. That is except for near-term meetings which haven’t shrugged off the weaker core PCE implications of the CPI and PPI reports.
  • Cumulative hikes from 5.33% effective: +1bp for Wed (unch), +8bp for Nov (-1bp on the day) and +11bp (-0.5bp) for Dec to a terminal 5.44%. The latter is down 1bp on the day and 2bps on pre-CPI levels.
  • Cuts from terminal: 29bp to Jun’24 and 92bp to Dec’24 with the latter near recent lows, and leaving an implied effective rate of 4.52% just 6bps lower the 2024 median dot from the June SEP ahead of next week’s updated dot plot.
  • Note the significant change in the path compared to pre-JOLTS levels in the table below, a report that helped kickstart a series of data prints consistent with a soft landing theme. The Nov implied rate (the then terminal) is currently 10bps lower yet the Dec’24 is 7.5bps higher since then.
