“Since our prime CPI print, the marketplace continues to be decisively prices out the prospect of a 100bps hike within the This summer FOMC,” the update read.

“Currently, a 20% possibility of 100bps continues to be priced in but our view is the fact that 75bps is easily the most the Given is going to do. So expect another boost as 100 bps will get completely priced out.”
