Comments From ECB’s Dovish Wing Does Little for Pricing, But Won’t Harm U.S.-Driven Move Lower

STIR

ECB-dated OIS continues to price a little over 23bp of tightening for this month’s meeting, despite this morning’s dovish utterances from familiar faces (Visco & Stournaras), while the continued updates to final national CPI prints from across the region, musings on the matter from various national & EU officials and softer than expected Eurozone industrial production releases did little for the space.

  • The general direction of travel for core global FI & STIR markets has allowed ECB-dated OIS to show below 4.00% when it comes to terminal deposit rate pricing, with the liquid contracts running little changed to 5bp lower on the day.
  • The accounts covering the latest ECB monetary policy meeting had no tangible impact.
  • The regional docket is fairly limited for the remainder of the week, which will leave broader headline flow and cross-market gyrations at the fore.
