BoE Peak Pricing Nears 6%, ECB Edges To Post-April High

STIR

Bank of England terminal rate pricing jumped Monday, nearing 6% ahead of Wednesday's CPI data and of course Thursday's BoE decision. ECB hike pricing couldn't match that, but terminal Depo rate rose to the highest since late April.

  • BoE terminal Bank Rate pricing +10.5bp to 5.95% (145bp of further hikes left in the cycle to Feb/Mar 2024 - intraday peak was 5.98%). While June implied probability for a 50bp hike is fairly modest (~20%), notably the OIS curve includes 98bp of hikes over the next 3 meetings (Jun, Aug, Sep) implying a 50bp raise somewhere along the line (66bp is implied through Aug).
  • ECB terminal depo Rate pricing +3.7bp to 3.96% (47bp of further hikes left in the cycle to Dec 2023). ECB's Schnabel's warning against under-tightening put some modest upside pressure on Eurozone peak pricing Monday. Chief Econ Lane largely echoed Lagarde's press conference comments last week pointing to a July hike but with September still undecided. Around 40bp of cumulative hikes are priced through the September decision.
