BoE Peak Rates At 3-Month Lows; ECB Steady

STIR

BoE peak hike pricing dropped to the lowest since June 12th (prior to key labour market data saw yields soar) Thursday, while ECB implied terminal rates remained fairly steady a week ahead of the Governing Council's decision.

  • BoE terminal Bank Rate pricing -9.4bp to 5.67% (42bp of further hikes left in the cycle to Feb 2024): Despite little in the way of meaningful news/data outside of mixed Decision Maker Panel data (expected wages/prices lower but realised wages picking up), BoE hike expectations dropped by the most in a session so far this this month.
  • 21bp is priced for September's MPC (85% prob of a 25bp hike, down from about 90% Wednesday), with 34bp through the next two meetings.
  • ECB terminal depo Rate pricing -0.3bp to 3.92% (17bp of further hikes left in the cycle to Dec 2023): There's 9bp (36% prob of a 25bp hike) priced for next Thursday's meeting, about 1bp higher on the day; 15bp is cumulatively priced through the next two meetings.
