A hike on May 2 is a given. The market perceives a 30.1 percent chance of a one more hike in June. 

The light green bars show the panic around the bank failures in May. The market has since put more rate hikes back on the table as noted by the bars for April 11 and May 2.

Yet the weighted average expectation for December is now 4.65 percent vs 5.18 percent for June. That about a half point of cuts vs the June terminal rate.
