SUMMARY

Well, that escalated quickly.....

A mere 5 days ago it was almost certain that the Fed would have to raise rates 50bp at the next meeting, after a hawkish testimony by Fed GOvenor Powell to Congress. Now we are pricing in the possibility of a CUT! IF not the next meeting , then very soon (given the 103 bp rally in SFRM3 & the 116 BP rally in the SFRU3!!!!!)
 The unexpected demise of Signature Bank over the weekend, along with the failure of Silicon Valley Bank, ignited a shoot-first-ask-questions-later reaction among regional-bank investors as customers moved deposits to the largest U.S. banks for perceived safekeeping which fed through to the rate markets. Even though the Federal Reserve announced a new backstop program and President Joe Biden declared U.S. banks safe, investors remain skeptical about the fixes in place for the banking system.
 The Fed on Sunday announced the Bank Term Funding Program and the baking authorities together announced full protection to depositors at the failed banks, measures that have ramped speculation (and pricing) of easier Fed policy, seeing historic strength in Treasuries: 2s30s spiked over 50bps, the largest one-day steepening since the 84bps on the day after 'Black Monday' in 1987, with the curve at its least inverted since late December.
CPI is next up tomorrow, although it's likely to feel like second fiddle with the financial stability concerns overshadowing the market.
