Sept FOMC Pricing Back >70bps Pre ECB, Powell

STIR FUTURES
  • The Fed Funds implied hike for the Sept FOMC has continued the uptrend of the past two days to sit at 70.5bps. It’s potentially spillover from Goldman’s view change late yesterday for a 75bp hike (from 50) and then 50bp in Nov (from 25), but remains within yesterday’s range after the snap reaction higher to Timiraos’s article - see chart.
  • No change further out the curve though, with the terminal 3.90% for Mar’23 still down from yesterday’s early highs of 3.96% before 3.51% in Dec’23, with subdued Beige Book growth implications potentially still weighing.
  • ECB presser and Powell to overlap with Powell at 0910ET, followed by Evans (’23) and Kashkari (’23) later on, with comments increasingly carrying more weight heading towards 2023.
