STIR: 80% Chance Of Fed Hike This Year
Mar-23 10:25
US rates have seen another marked shift lower overnight, with a 25bp hike this year more than 80% priced as the 1944ET deadline looms for President Trump’s 48-hour ultimatum to Iran to re-open the Strait of Hormuz.
Cumulative hikes from 3.64% effective: 5bp Apr, 10bp Jun, 12.5bp Jul, 17.5bp Sep, 21bp Oct, 20bp Dec and 12.5bp Jun 2027.
SOFR futures continue to see losses concentrated around the Z6-H7 area, currently down as much as 14 ticks in the H7.
Terminal implied yields see more muted daily moves but nevertheless continue to push higher, currently 3.525% (H8, +4.5bp) having last closed higher in early Apr 2025.
Fed Governor Miran (voter, dovish dissenter) speaks on BBG TV at 0845ET after mixed post-FOMC comments from other dovish permanent voters on Friday: Waller dialled back his dovishness but Bowman stuck with three 2026 cuts in her March SEP entry. Miran has in the past chosen to avoid writing a traditional dissenting statement so expect him to lay out his rationale here instead.
