June 14, 2022 Headlines

A modest correction emerged overnight in Treasuries, pushing front-end yields 7-8 basis points lower this morning. Normally, an 8 bps rally in the 2-year yield wouldn’t be considered “modest”, but when yields soar 54 bps in two days, the biggest two-day sell-off since 1987, “modest” feels like a more appropriate adjective. The sell-off coincided with the market repricing for consecutive 75 bps rate hikes at the June and July meetings and a 3.65% fed funds rate by year-end. The futures market now has fed funds reaching a terminal rate of 3.95 in Q2 next year. Prior to Friday’s CPI and consumer sentiment data, futures were pricing a 2.91% year-end funds rate and 3.38% terminal rate. Tomorrow we will get a better idea of what the Fed thinks about the market’s repricing with the rate decision, updated summary of economic projections, and Powell’s press conference.
