BoE Hike Pricing Pulls Back, ECB Steady

STIR FUTURES

ECB hike pricing finished largely unchanged Tuesday, with BoE pricing lower but up from intraday lows set after a weaker-than-expected set of UK labour market data.

  • ECB terminal Bank Rate pricing +0.5bp to 3.74% (49.4bp of further hikes left in the cycle). On the day, comments by ECB hawk Holzmann (supported a 50bp hike at May's meeting) didn't really move the needle, and soft German ZEW figure and poor Dutch GDP had little impact.
  • June hike pricing steady at 22bp.
  • BoE terminal Bank Rate pricing -4.1bp to 4.91% (40.8bp of further hikes left in the cycle), with the move lower largely on the aforementioned UK labour data.
  • June hike pricing was a couple of bp softer, to 19bp, vs 21bp prior.
