Rate Path Pushes Higher After Weekend Waller, Brainard Ahead

STIR FUTURES
  • Fed Funds implied hikes firmed at open after what should have been unsurprising comments from Gov. Waller Sunday, noting the CPI miss was just one data point and “the market seems to have gotten way out in front of this”, looking at potentially hiking 50bps next meeting or after.
  • Sitting with 51bp for Dec (+1bp), cumulative 86bp to 4.71% Feb'23 (+2bp), terminal 4.92% in May/Jun’23 (+4/5bp) and 4.47% Dec’23 (+7.5bp), with terminal and end-23 rates clawing back about a third of the CPI hit.
  • VC Brainard in focus at 1130ET (no text). Last spoke Oct 10 with two CPI reports and the Nov FOMC since (it’ll take time for tighter policy to affect economy, 1970s taught risks of easing prematurely but at some points risks could become more two-sided). NY Fed’s Williams late at 1830ET.
