More Than 25bp Of Further Tightening Priced For Fed, BoC & RBA

STIR

Stronger than expected US data overnight sees US STIR join Canada & Australia in pricing more than 25bp additional tightening for the remainder of this year. Lower-than-expected core inflation measures in Canada failed to soften the expected terminal rate.

  • The other noteworthy recent development is that there is no year-end easing currently priced across the $-bloc.
  • NZ stands as the exception in terms of futures pricing, with only 14bp of additional tightening priced. NZ STIR has been reluctant to follow the lead shown by the other $-bloc markets following the surprising decision by the RBNZ to signal a likely peak in its OCR at its most recent MPS.
