Pricing In Earlier And Faster Fed Hiking Cycle

STIR FUTURES

Following Thursday's sell-off in rates/Tsys, Eurodollar futures are implying a first Fed rate hike by end-2022/early 2023, vs late summer 2023 just after the January FOMC. Fed Funds futures indicate something similar by early 2023.

  • Notably rates are also seen as 50bps higher compared to the post-Jan FOMC path, in other words roughly 2 more 25bps hikes are priced into the cycle. Three 25bps increases are fully priced by end-2023, compared to post-Jan FOMC when just two 25bps hikes were priced by March 2024.)
  • While the dust hasn't really settled yet from Thursday, these figures are increasingly at odds with the FOMC's December median projection of no hikes through end-2023.
