Rate Path Fades Hawkish Leaning Bowman and Logan

STIR
  • Fed Funds implied rates have shown no sign of a hawkish reaction to Bowman continuing to expect the need for further rate hikes (albeit not having pushed for one in November) and Logan seeing inflation trending towards 3% and not 2%, along with the need to curb inflation in a timely way.
  • Pricing for the next two meetings is unchanged/just -0.5bp on the day, i.e. with very little hiking priced building to a cumulative 3.5bp in January.
  • The Dec’24 rate meanwhile is down 7bps on the day to 4.40% (97bp of cuts in 2024), more than fully reversing the increase seen after the Fed’s SLOOS showed perhaps less credit tightening than some expected – see table.
  • Chair Powell is scheduled for tomorrow with opening remarks although Thursday’s appearance at an IMF panel including prepared text is likely more of note.
