US Is The Outlier With Respect To $-Bloc Rate Hike Expectations

STIR

Market expectations for the terminal interest rates within the $-bloc have firmed slightly over the past week outside the US. The peripheral markets have at least one additional 25bp hike priced, compared to the less than 50% probability assigned in the US. Moreover, the US is the only market with expectations of an easing by June 2024. Terminal rate expectations and the cumulative tightening currently stand at:

  • 5.43%, +10bps (FOMC);
  • 5.28%, +26bps (BoC);
  • 4.35%, +28bps (RBA); and
  • 5.75%, +25bps (RBNZ).
