STIR: Modest Hawkish Tilt Post-BoC In Fed Rates, 26bp Cut Priced For Today

Sep-17 15:16
  • US rates have seen a steady hawkish adjustment in BoC spillover, starting with the decision before an extension on Macklem’s press release noting that governing council considered leaving rates unchanged and not seeing a recession.
  • Moves are contained though ahead of the FOMC decision at 1400ET, not least with the BoC having seen a clear consensus to cut 25bps and there being more comfort that some upward pressures on underlying inflation are easing off.
  • Fed funds implied rates are 1.5bp higher since the decision through Dec-Mar meetings, whilst SOFR future implied yields are up to 2.5bps higher in late 2027 contracts (for +4bp on the day).
  • Cumulative cuts from 4.33% effective: 26bp for today, 45bp Oct, 67.5bp Dec, 80.5bp Jan and 95.5bp Mar.
  • SOFR implied terminal yield at 2.91% (SFRH7, +3bp) to shift back towards the higher end of its post-payrolls range roughly between 140-150bp of cuts from current levels.
