ECB: Little Net Change In Implied Cut Pricing As ECB Retains Existing Guidance

ECB

Little net change in ECB-dated OIS as the ECB cuts rates by 25bps as expected, but retains its “ data-dependent and meeting-by-meeting” guidance. 

  • OIS continue to price 8bps of sequential cuts through the October meeting (vs the cut-adjusted ESTR effective rate), while there are 36bps of cumulative cuts priced through year-end.
  • The 2024 and 2025 core inflation projections were revised a tenth higher compared to June. The 2025 revision was not expected by analysts coming into the meeting. Growth projections were in line with consensus.
  • The statement notes that “Domestic inflation remains high”, even though “labour cost pressures are moderating, and profits are partially buffering the impact of higher wages on inflation”.
  • The press conference begins at 1345BST/1445CET.
