STIR: Fed Rates Close To Most Hawkish In Two Weeks With CPI Eyed

Oct-24 10:25
  • Fed Funds implied rates consolidate yesterday’s hawkish shift on a surge in oil futures, having seen little impact from Trump terminating trade negotiations with Canada overnight.  
  • Today’s delayed CPI report is in firm focus. MNI US CPI Preview: https://media.marketnews.com/USCPI_Prev_Oct2025_update_24969dda49.pdf
  • Cumulative cuts from 4.11% effective: 25bp Oct, 48bp Dec, 61.5bp Jan, 74bp Mar, 80.5bp Apr and 94bp Jun.
  • SOFR futures are 0-1.5 ticks lower when looking out to end-2027, leaving the terminal implied yield at 2.975% (SFRZ6, +1.5bp). It last closed higher on Oct 10 at which point US-China trade tensions increased before last week’s further decline on brief US regional bank concerns.  
  • Yesterday saw a further $3bn of SRF uptake and potentially chimed with a lift back higher in SOFR from 4.21% the day prior.
