STIR futures are under pressure this morning, continuing on from the sell-off seen on Friday.

  • The biggest moves are being seen in Eurodollar futures, with the Mar-23 contract down 20.5 ticks on the day, 49.0 ticks since Thursday's close. With the exception of the soon-to-expire Jun-22 contract, Whites, Reds and Greens are all down by at least 11 ticks on the day, and at least 27 ticks since Thursday's close. Markets are now pricing 57bp for this week's meeting - 50bp fully priced with around a 25% probability priced for a 75bp hike. 174bp is priced by September (3 meetings time) - which implies two 50bp hikes and one 75bp hike over the next three meetings. 253bp is priced by year-end.
