FOMC Meeting Does Little To Deter $-Bloc Easing Expectations

STIR

STIR markets within the $-bloc remain poised for a significant easing cycle in 2024 following the FOMC meeting. Fed Chair Powell pushed back against the prospect of a March easing.

  • That said, easing expectations for December 2024 have been pared 5-10bps in the US and Canada over the past week.
  • In contrast, Australia and NZ have seen cumulative easing by year-end increase by 20bp and 10bps respectively over the same period.
  • December 2024 expectations and the cumulative easing across the $-bloc stand at: 3.91%, -142bps (FOMC); 4.04%, -96bps (BOC); 3.72%, -60bps (RBA); and 4.55%, -92bps (RBNZ).
