STIR: Hawkish Extension In Fed Prices After ISM

Nov-05 15:22

The combination of a firmer-than-expected headline ISM services reading and prices paid sub-component (70.0) makes for an extension of the hawkish move in the USD front end.

  • Note that the employment component remained in contractionary territory but wasn’t quite as soft as expected.
  • Market now prices 16bp of easing for next month i.e. over 60% odds of a cut taking place, with a cumulative 24bp of easing showing through January, 31.5bp through March and 51.5bp through June.
  • That compares to 17bp, 26bp, 35bp and 55bp ahead of the data.
  • SOFR-implied terminal rate pricing moves to 3.13% vs. 3.09% seen ahead of the ADP employment release.
