Five Fed Speakers Ahead

STIR FUTURES
  • Hike expectations sit at the higher end of the range established since Powell’s shift to moving “expeditiously” towards tighter policy, especially over more immediate meetings.
  • FOMC-dated Fed Funds have 43.5bps for the May meeting, 83.5bps for June (66% chance of 100bps over two meetings) and 189bps for December.
  • Stacked Fedspeak with Kashkari, Waller, Evans, Bostic and then Daly overnight although Evans (2023 voter) at 0950ET is the only one who hasn’t already spoken since the FOMC decision.
  • Waller (permanent voter) might specify where he sits on the dot plot – he wants end-2022 rates slightly above the 2.00-2.25% he sees as neutral so is either 1 of 3 looking for 2.25-2.5% or the sole one looking for 2.5-2.75%.
