STIR: Dovish Fed Pricing Shift On CPI, 20bp Cuts Priced For Next Month

STIR

Soft unrounded core CPI data drives the initial dovish reaction in the short end, with the recent hawkish positioning trend probably factoring into the move as well.

  • Fed Funds futures show 20bp of cuts for next month, 42bp through March, 60bp through June and 78bp through December ’25.
  • That compares to 15.5bp, 36bp, 57bp and 68bp ahead of the data.
  • Little to move the needle in initial comments from Minneapolis Fed President Kashkari (Minneapolis Fed will not be an FOMC voter until ’26), a reminder that he already spoke yesterday.
