STIR

The recent divergence in ECB and BoE implied cut pricing widened further Monday.

  • There are now 129bp of ECB cuts implied over 2024 (from the Dec 2023 peak), after a modest (2bp) rise today, though that had been as high as 134bp at one point in the session.
  • April 2024 remains the timing for the first cumulatively fully priced 25bp rate cut, though March is still seen as a high probability (between 75-80%). The first 50bp of cuts is fully priced through the June meeting, with 75bp through July and a fourth by September (104bp implied).
  • BoE implied cuts in contrast fell back by 10bp today (taken as 1 year from the expected Feb/Mar 2024 peak) to 89bp.
  • The first cut is back to being priced by August 2024 (vs June 2024 on Friday), with the first 50bp of cuts not seen cumulatively until November.
