Quick Take
- On the news of today, job report, and unemployment data, the market is now pricing in a 70% chance of a 25bps rate hike.
- This would take the federal funds rate above 5%.
- The market now expects a 25bps hike in May, a pause in June, and a 25bps cut in July.
- However, we have a couple of inflation reports, with CPI on April 12 and PCE on April 28.
- So we expect the data to change as the month rolls on.
