ECB Hike Pricing Jumping ... Alongside Oil Prices

STIR

Pricing for a 25bp hike in Thursday's ECB decision has eclipsed 50% probability today (for the first time in September) and is on the highs of the day.

  • As we've noted throughout the session, it's difficult to place a particular catalyst for today's move which has seen the implied probability rise from roughly 40% to 52%, though we note that the intraday move has come alongside the rise in oil prices - potentially seen focusing the minds of Governing Council members who are on the fence about inflation risks going into Q4?
