STIR: US Rates Mildly Lower On The Day, Less Reactive To Mixed Geopol Headlines

Apr-15 10:35
  • US rates are mildly lower on the day, giving back some of yesterday’s second half rally.
  • There was limited reaction to earlier AP reports that mediators' efforts to extend a ceasefire between the US and Iran have made progress although on the flip side recent headlines of Iran warning against a continuation of the US blockade are helping keep rates towards session lows.
  • Cumulative cuts from 3.64% effective: 0bp Apr, 0bp Jun, 2bp Jul, 3.5bp Sep, 5bp Oct, 9.5bp Dec building to 17bp with Jun 2027.
  • SOFR futures are currently up to 2 ticks through U7-M8 contracts as opposed to recent moves being led by front reds.
  • The SOFR terminal implied yield of 3.37% (H8) closed at 3.35% yesterday for its lowest close since Mar 18. It compares with a range of 3.075% (Mar 2) - 3.55% (Mar 26) for closes since first US-Israel strikes on Iran on Feb 28.
