June FOMC Pricing Bears The Brunt Of Skip Rhetoric

STIR
  • The combination of a sizeable downside miss for the MNI Chicago PMI, higher than expected JOLTS job openings and then Jefferson (voter) and Harker (’23 voter) supporting skipping a June hike has seen decent swings in Fed rate expectations.
  • The latter weighed most heavily, especially for June OIS pricing with most of the day's 7.5bp decline coming after Jefferson/Harker, to leave just +8bp priced, whilst it no longer fully prices a hike come July with +20bp (-5.5bps on the day).
  • Aside from that particularly heavy decline in June pricing, subsequent meeting expectations have seen a slightly larger retracement but are still 2-3bps lower than pre-PMI levels for down -5.5-6.5bps on the day after earlier spillover from softer European core inflation and China PMIs.
  • Tomorrow sees the last day before the media blackout starts Fri midnight, currently with just a repeat appearance from Harker scheduled.
