BoE Hike Pricing Hits 12-Session High, ECB Steady

STIR

BoE peak rate hike pricing saw its highest closing level Monday since May 25, with ECB pricing relatively flat ahead of Thursday's decision.

  • ECB terminal depo Rate pricing -0.7bp to 3.78% (53bp of further hikes left in the cycle). A very high (92%) implied probability remains of a quarter-point hike on Thursday.
  • BoE terminal Bank Rate pricing +4.1bp to 5.58% (108bp of further hikes left in the cycle). While there was no single driver at play, hawkish-leaning commentary by BoE's Haskel and Mann were seen contributing to the move.
  • We also note that BoE pricing has lately seemed relatively more sensitive to non-UK central bank (eg Bank of Canada last week) pricing as compared to the ECB, so there is perhaps relatively high event / data risk being considered ahead of the US CPI data tomorrow and the potentially hawkish Fed / BoJ decisions later in the week.
