STIR: Odds Of Follow Up 50bp Fed Cut Recede Further Following NFPs

STIR

Meaningful hawkish adjustments in Fed Funds futures following the very strong labour market report, headlined by a 100K+ beat for NFPs and a ‘low’ 4.10% unemployment rate (4.05% unrounded).

  • Fed funds futures now show ~28bp of cuts for November, ~58bp of cuts through year-end, 103bp of cuts through March and 133bp of cuts through June ’25.
  • That compares to 34bp, 67bp, 119bp and 150bp heading into the data.
  • SFRZ4 trades at the lowest level seen since last month’s NFP report, while SFRM5 hits levels not seen since August 20.
  • This reading is strong enough to have forced some real money accounts out of any long/received positions, particularly as it adds to recent hawkish adjustments.
