ECB Peak Pricing Hits 5-Session High On Hawkish Rhetoric; BoE Dips

STIR

ECB peak hike pricing saw one of its bigger daily up moves of the past month on Wednesday to a 5-session high, with BoE pricing pulling back Tuesday's rise.

  • ECB terminal depo Rate pricing +2.4bp to 3.92% (17bp of further hikes left in the cycle to Dec 2023). With multiple hawks emerging today including Knot (who said a September hike is a close call) and Kazimir (ECB must hike one more time), September pricing recovered 2bp to over 8bp, around a 1-in-3 chance of a 25bp hike (that's still well off the 56% implied a week earlier though). There's 14bp priced through the Sept and Oct meetings cumulatively.
  • BoE terminal Bank Rate pricing -3.4bp to 5.76% (51bp of further hikes left in the cycle to Mar 2024). Today's BoE TSC testimony didn't move the needle much, with hike pricing basically reversing Tuesday's rise. A September 25bp hike is implied with 90% probability (that's vs around 95% Tuesday), with 36bp priced through the next two meetings cumulatively.
