STIR: Near-Term Rate Path Back Close To Pre-ADP Levels, FOMC Minutes To Come
Oct-08 16:47
Fed Funds implied rates are towards their most hawkish of the day, with the Dec implied rate for example back close to levels prior to last week’s soft ADP release.
Further gains for crude oil futures (WTI 1st +1.3%) and S&P 500 e-minis back at record highs are likely in the driving seat.
Moves are still relatively modest on the day, with 1.5bp increases for Dec and Jan meetings and 2.5bp higher through Mar-Jun meetings.
Cumulative cuts from 4.08% effective: 22bp Oct, 42.5bp Dec, 52.5bp Jan, 62.5bp Mar, 69bp Apr and 82.5bp June.
SOFR futures also see modest losses, sitting 2 ticks lower through H6-H7 contracts.
The SOFR implied terminal yield of 3.07% is back in the SFRH7 after technically tilting into the Z6 on Monday for the first time since mid-July. It roughly points to 100bp of cuts ahead.
Fedspeak has indeed been a non-event today although we are still to get the FOMC minutes at 1400ET - see the above posts starting 1121ET for a more detailed take on what to look for. That's barring any spillover to front rates at the upcoming 10Y auction at 1300ET.
