Flat copper and a 2Y already at 4.74% against 3.63% funds rate suggest the curve has plenty of hawkish pricing baked in — IP and manufacturing production would need to show genuine contraction to give…

A soft IP print alongside weak manufacturing production would pressure the 2Y lower from 4.74%, narrowing the 111bp gap to fed funds — but with CPI still running 3.35% and unemployment at 4.10%, the f…

Front-end already embeds substantial hawkish premium with the 2Y trading 111bp above fed funds, so Bowman's usual inflation-vigilance script is largely priced — she'd need to explicitly endorse anothe…
