- December 2019 meeting: Market is attaching 3 percent probability that rates will be at 1.75-2.00 percent, 22.6 percent probability that rates will be at 2.00-2.25 percent, and 70.8 percent probability that rates will be at 2.25-2.50 percent, and 3.7 percent probability that rates will be at 2.50-2.75 percent.
The probability is suggesting,
- Since our last review a week ago, the probabilities have eased further, despite two more hike forecasts by the Fed.
- The market is just pricing one rate hike for 2019 with 3.7 percent probability, compared to a8 percent a week ago and 48.3 percent in the week before that, which means that the market is pricing no rate hike in 2019, despite Fed’s forecast of two hikes.
- The market is now pricing a rate cut in 2019 with 25.6 percent probability.
