MNI Fed Review - May 2022: No 75s, But Not Dovish

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

  • May’s FOMC was hawkish, but not enough to meet heightened market rate hike expectations.
  • Near-term rate hikes repriced lower and risk assets rallied following Chair Powell’s explicit guidance for 50bp hikes at the next couple of meetings, while downplaying the possibility of 75bp increases.
  • The bar to non-50bp moves in June/July is high, but the path in 2H 2022 will be very much data-dependent.
