BoE Terminal Pricing Falls On The Week, As ECB Ticks Higher Pre-Decision

STIR

BoE peak hike pricing closes 13bp lower on the week to a post-Jun 12 low, with the ECB equivalent up 3bp on the week ahead of next week's Governing Council decision.

  • BoE terminal Bank Rate pricing -5.8bp to 5.61% (36bp of further hikes left in the cycle to Dec 2023). At this point, a hike after the next in this cycle is far from assured. With the impact of BoE speakers (including Bailey) having left a relatively dovish impression earlier this week, there's under 20bp priced for the September meeting (around 77% prob of a 25bp hike implied, vs 84% Thursday), and 32bp through the next 2 meetings.
  • ECB terminal depo Rate pricing +1bp to 3.93% (18bp of further hikes left in the cycle to Feb 2024). An MNI sources story out today (titled: "Hawks Aim For ECB Hike Before Data Ties Hands") helped spur a 1-2bp rise in expectations for a 25bp hike next week, which now sit at around 38% vs closer to 33% prior.
