ECB Implied Rates Tick Lower, Nearly 80bp Of '24 Cuts Priced
EURIBOR
Bund and BTP futures extend on yesterday’s recovery, allowing Euribor futures to print 1-3bp firmer on the day.
- ECB-dated OIS contracts are a touch softer, showing ~22.5bp of cuts through the June decision, with a cumulative ~79bp of cuts priced by year end.
- Vice President de Guindos once again steered towards a June cut but remained relatively non-committal beyond that point.
- A reminder that Monday saw GC dove Centeno point to the potential for more than 100bp of cuts this year (125bp of cuts would equate to a 25bp cut at each of the remaining ’24 meetings).
- A June cut remains firmly on the table given broader GC guidance; however, divisions remain re: preferences for the the policy path beyond June.
- Flash PMI readings headline the regional data calendar today.
- Elsewhere, ECB-speak will come from Nagel and Panetta.
