Holding The Post-FOMC Focus On June Start To Cuts

STIR
  • Fed Funds implied rates for near-term meetings have lifted a little off post-FOMC lows but are still concentrated towards a first cut in June.
  • There is little sign of near-term spillover from the surprise 25bp SNB cut, although it perhaps weighs further out with the Dec’24 implied rate back near post-FOMC lows.
  • Cumulative cuts from 5.33% effective: 3.5bp May, 20.5bp Jun, 32.5bp Jul, 53bp Sep and 85bp Dec. June priced as much as 22bp of cuts overnight.
  • Note that VC for Supervision Barr speaks today to students on “A View from the Fed” but it falls within the blackout period and so shouldn’t be policy relevant.
