Citi Recommend Paying Oct ECB OIS
STIR
Late Wednesday saw Citi recommend paying Oct ’24 ECB-dated OIS.
- They reasoned that “the progress of headline inflation towards the ECB’s 2% target confirms the direction of travel, but the stickiness in core argues for a cautious policy approach.”
- “A 25bp cut in two weeks is essentially a done deal.”
- “While pricing is likely to remain reactive to U.S. payrolls next week, a cut in October likely requires stronger domestic justification in the form of a sharp fall in core HICP.”
