Pay fixed when the market prices too many cuts

SOFR is 4.30 percent and the 5-year SOFR swap is 3.60 percent. The market is pricing 150 basis points of cuts over two years. You think the economy is stronger than that and expect half as many. You have a $45,000 per basis point risk budget. Pitch the trade.
