ECB-dated OIS Price Marginally More 2024 Cuts

STIR

ECB-dated ESTR OIS contracts show a slightly higher probability of 2024 cuts compared to the prior day, following confirmation that the Eurozone flash October inflation came in softer than consensus.

  • The headline, at 2.91% was the lowest reading since July 2021 while core at 4.19% was the softest since July 2022. Meanwhile, Q3 GDP fell -0.1% Q/Q (vs 0.0% expected) and rose 0.1% Y/Y (vs 0.2% expected).
  • Comments from the ECB's Visco (re defending the ECB's current restrictive policy) did not move the needle, likely because today is the Bank of Italy head's last day in office before handing the baton to Fabio Panetta.
  • There is currently just over 1bp of tightening priced in for the December, before cuts begin to be priced through 2024 - over 70bps are priced by the October 2024 meeting (and over 80bps by the end of 2024)
