Briefing: 09:09 ET Fed funds discounting May/June tightening; Treasury yields rising
The fed funds futures contracts are now discounting an 80% probability of 50 bp in Fed tightening by mid-year, with 25 bp hikes seen as probable at the May 7 and Jun 27 meetings. Interest rates are spiking again today, with the 10-year Treasury note up to 5.31% and the 2-year note rising to a post-9/11 high of 3.53%. Rising rates could restrain growth in rate-sensitive sectors such as housing.
