ECB Pricing Firmer & Steeper, 5y5y Swaps Push Further Beyond 2.60%

STIR

ECB-dated OIS run 1-6bp higher on the day, as the strip steepens.

  • 10bp of tightening is now priced for September, while terminal deposit rate pricing is between 3.90-3.95%
  • Comments from ECB chief economist Lane generally went over old ground on inflation expectations.
  • Regional data saw strong German factory orders driven by potential transitory factors, while Eurozone retail sales data was mixed with prior readings subjected to positive revisions.
  • The general direction of travel for core global FI markets and EUR 5y5y inflation linked swaps moving further above 2.60% have probably been in the driving seat.
  • U.S. NFPs are eyed into the weekend.
