1 U.S. Interest Rates Chartbook January 2018

2 Takeaways In line with expectations, the FOMC left Fed funds rate unchanged. The changes to the January statement highlighted stronger growth and confidence that inflation will stabilize at the target rate of 2% in The committee expects that economic conditions will evolve in a manner that will warrant further gradual increases in the federal funds rate Fed funds futures are pricing in three rate increases for A March rate increase is fully priced in and the implied probability for a subsequent hike in June is at 76%. The 2-year to 30-year Treasury yields have increased in monotone by basis points since the end of December. Consumer rates followed suit. An increase in yields is supported by a soft but sustained increase in Inflation expectations. Term premium remains negative coupled with a low market volatility environment. The yield spread between the 2-year and 10-year Treasury notes remains at an average at 55 basis points, its lowest level since Fall The baseline remains for a gradual increase in long-term yields with an upward bias for 2018 year-end long-term rates. The economic environment over the medium-term implies that the yield curve will flatten further.
