- GoC yields have been lifted by Treasuries following Jefferson’s commentary, IMF forecasts and stronger than expected production data.

- In the nearer-term, there is now 16-17bp of cuts priced for the next meeting in June vs 13-14bps pre-CPI (it was ~20bps before US CPI strength).
- CORRA futures see 69bps of cuts through 2024 contracts vs 62bps pre-CPI.
