FOMC Skip Talk Still Weighs On June/July, Some Lift Further Out

STIR
  • FOMC-dated OIS implied rates for the next two meetings continue to be weighed by yesterday’s back-to-back support for skipping a June hike from Gov. and VC nominee Jefferson (voter) and Harker (’23 voter).
  • The market only prices around 1/3 chance of a June hike from ~2/3 yesterday, and still doesn’t fully price a hike ahead, but subsequent meetings have seen some recovery higher ahead of a today’s labor-heavy data releases before Friday's payrolls report.
  • Cumulative changes from 5.08% effective: +9bp Jun (+0.5bp on the day), +20.5bp Jul (unch), +15bp Sep (+1bp), +2bp Nov (+2bp), -13.5bp Dec (+4bp) and -32bp Jan (+5bp) – table below for comparison with pre-Chicago PMI levels.
  • A repeat appearance from Harker at 1300ET including text remains the sole scheduled Fedspeak in the last two days before the media blackout starts Fri midnight.
