Even after several warnings over the possibility of rate hike in June or July, by Rosengren, Esther George, Williams, Dudley, Lockhart, Powell and Bullard, market participants are still a bit far from pricing it. As a matter of fact, hike expectations has slipped somewhat in last two days after sharp gains in days prior.
Just two days back market was pricing 30% probability of a hike in June and 58% probability in July.
As of now it is pricing just about 24% and 55%.
Hike expectations have shifted south in longer dated meeting too.
In September, market was pricing 65% chance of a hike and 67% for November. Both are down 2 percentage points.
However, hike expectations in December has gone up. 2 days back, market was pricing 34% chance of a second hike and now it is up 2%.

Dollar is up today but slipped back sharply in previous two against both emerging and developed countries' currency.
