Pausing After Powell “Prepared To Do More”

STIR FUTURES
  • FOMC-dated Fed Funds implied hikes have been little changed since rising on Powell yesterday repeating that 50bp hikes over the next two meetings are appropriate, but with two-sided risk including being prepared to do more if necessary.
  • Pricing close to where it was once the dust had settled on CPI, with 53bps for Jun, 102bps for Jul, 140bps for Sep and a little below with 189bps for Dec.
  • Ahead, repeat appearances from Kashkari (’23 voter) and Mester (’22) after Mester on Tuesday similarly noted openness to larger than 50bp hikes if inflation doesn’t slow in 2H22.
