ECB Cut Pricing Pulls Back Following Flash CPI Releases

STIR

ECB implied rates have moved away from intraday highs, but this morning's flash inflation data continues to be judged hawkishly, with 85bps of cuts priced through the remainder of 2024 (vs 93bps this morning).

  • Today's hawkish extreme saw 2024 cut pricing pullback to 83bps.
  • We have seen quite a difference of opinion amongst analysts in response to this morning's German state level data, so there will still be substantial interest in the national CPI release at 1300GMT/1400CET.
  • MNI's interpretation sits on the hawkish end of the spectrum, alongside Goldman Sachs who track German core HICP at 3.4% Y/Y (vs 3.2% going into the release).
  • Following the German data, US PCE at 1330GMT will also be of interest.
