ECB, BoE Cut Expectations Pull Back; Terminal Steady

STIR

Rate markets pulled back on implied ECB and BoE cuts from peak Monday as core FI retreated from Friday's extremes, though there remains little change in expected terminal levels.

  • Rate strips continue to imply that the ECB is finished tightening, with the cumulative probability of a full 25bp cut building to the first reduction in June 2024. Versus Friday's US employment report-related rally though, cut expectations for the year following the Dec 2023 peak retreated 5bp to 89bp.
  • Likewise for the BoE, around 5-6bp of further potential tightening is seen through the Feb/Mar 2024 peak, with 83bp of cuts implied through the following year - 7bp less than was seen at last Friday's close. That includes a first full reduction by August 2024.
