- The SOFR implied terminal yield of 2.86% (SFRH7) is 1bp lower from Friday as it sits a little off 150bp of cuts ahead from current levels. The yield is only 2.5bp lower than levels just prior to the NFP release after rates rallied into the release.
- It’s a quieter start to the week before preliminary payrolls benchmark revisions, PPI and CPI over Tue-Thu. The Fed is now in media blackout ahead of the FOMC meeting on Sep 16-17.
