Intraday Drop On PCE/Chicago PMI Weighs On Fed Rates

STIR
  • Fed Funds implied rates out the next twelve months have moved lower today after softer PCE data and a miss for the Chicago PMI, but with moves limited on the day by an earlier increase through European hours.
  • It keeps a terminal rate seen with the Nov meeting from a cumulative +33.5bp hike (-1bp on the day), with any additional hikes from the current 5.07% effective reversed by the May decision and an unchanged 60bp of cuts from the Nov terminal to 4.81% in Jun’24.
  • Chicago Fed’s Goolsbee (’23 voter) didn’t move the needle earlier, noting that the Fed will get a lot more data for July – a meeting he still hasn’t decided on – albeit without much of a dovish tilt as he noted that goods inflation hasn’t come down as fast as expected.
  • SOFR futures are mixed, trading up to 4.5 ticks for the Dec’23 (with the day’s most active volumes at a cumulative 335k) before fading to a 2 tick sell-off out in the Dec’24 with the pivot coming in Sep’24.
