STIR: UK CPI Helps Fed Path A Little Closer To 50bp Of Cuts To End-2024

STIR
  • Fed Funds implied rates have been biased lower overnight by softer than expected UK CPI inflation (building on yesterday’s softer CAD CPI), moving closer to fully pricing in two further 25bp cuts this year.  
  • Cumulative cuts from 4.83% effective: 24bp Nov, 47bp Dec, 66bp Jan and 124bp June.
  • Today’s macro data sees international prices of most note for a final, albeit marginal, steer for core PCE estimates that currently average 0.25% M/M for the Oct 31 release.
  • There is no scheduled Fedspeak today, with Chicago Fed’s Goolsbee (’25) next up with opening remarks tomorrow.
  • Atlanta Fed’s Bostic (’24) late yesterday repeated that he penciled in a single 25bp rate cut to be split over the two meetings left this year at last month’s SEP. “The question everybody asks us is ‘how fast?’ I think it depends on what happens in the labor market and what happens with inflation. […] I actually think we’re going to see inflation be choppy, and I expect that we’ll see employment stay robust.”
