BoE Pricing Ends Week At Year's High, ECB Stubbornly Below 4%

STIR

ECB and BoE peak rate pricing ticked higher Friday to conclude a volatile week, with the latter touching fresh highs for the year.

  • ECB terminal depo Rate pricing +0.9bp to 3.98% (49bp of further hikes left in the cycle to Dec 2023). Daily peak rate closes were in a fairly tight range all week (3.96-3.99%) and stubbornly below last week's peak above 4% despite several potential risk events including ECB's Sintra conference and flash June inflation readings. The latter likely cemented a 25bp July hike though (92% priced).
  • BoE terminal Bank Rate pricing +2.5bp to 6.28% (128bp of further hikes left in the cycle to Feb 2024): BoE pricing finished 3bp higher on the day and the week after falling as low as 6.18% on Wednesday. 46bp remains priced for the August MPC, roughly the same as it started the week.
