Late SOFR/Treasury Options Roundup

US TSYS

SOFR and Treasury options remained mixed on heavier volumes Tuesday, underlying futures weaker in the aftermath of higher than hoped for CPI inflation data. Projected rate cut pricing has receded - CPI data unlikely to provide the FOMC confidence of inflation returning to 2% in the near term: March 2024 chance of 25bp rate cut currently -0.8% w/ cumulative of -0.02bp at 5.328%; May 2024 at -14.5% vs. -20.7% earlier w/ cumulative -3.8bp at 5.291%; June 2024 -63% w/ cumulative cut -19.6bp at 5.134%. July'24 cumulative -33.7bp at 4.993%.
