Citable research brief

Core conclusion · Tlines extraction

The Fed is expected to hike an additional 80bp through December 2027, per SOFR futures, while PCE inflation reaches 3.4% and core PCE 3.1% Q4/Q4 in 2026. GDP is forecast at 2.3% in 2026 and 1.9% in 2027, with unemployment near 4.2% and payroll growth cooling to 50,000/month. The Treasury may expand bill issuance and use repo for surplus cash, while greater hedge-fund demand for Treasuries raises yield volatility.

Key arguments

The market prices an additional 80bp of Fed hikes through December 2027, per SOFR futures.
Inflation remains above the Fed's 2% target, with PCE at 3.4% and core PCE at 3.1% Q4/Q4 in 2026.
The labor market is at full employment despite payroll growth averaging 70k/month this year and cooling to ~50k/month recently.
Treasury demand has shifted from buy-and-hold investors to hedge funds reliant on repo funding, increasing market fragility and yield sensitivity.

Key numbers

Fed additional hikes priced (bp): 80
PCE inflation 2026 Q4/Q4: 3.4%
Core PCE inflation 2026 Q4/Q4: 3.1%
GDP growth 2026 Q4/Q4: 2.3%
Nonfarm payrolls monthly average: 50,000

Main risks

The market-implied 80bp of hikes may not materialize if Fed officials diverge on forward guidance.
Treasury yield volatility could rise further if demand shifts more toward rate-sensitive hedge funds.
Expanding bill issuance or repo operations may put upward pressure on short-term rates.

Corresponding source evidence

Are prices about to turn lower from base effects tied to oil and tariffs?
• Some estimates suggest that job insecurity reduced wage growth by 0.3-0.7%/year in the mid-1990s because of fear about globalization and downsizing .
• The intraday market is currently small, but we think it could grow to $1trn as dealers and banks shift to “as needed” temporary repo financing” .Bank lenders can use the market to earn an extra return on cash that still is deposited at the Fed at the end of the day.
