ECB Pricing Higher After Uptick In Underlying Inflation Expectations And Continued

STIR

The ECB-dated OIS strip steepens in the wake of the latest ECB decision. The continued reference to the plural “future decisions” re: taking interest rates to sufficiently restrictive levels will be adding to the ECB’s mark higher in underlying inflation expectations, combining to embolden those that are willing to price in 2 further 25bp rate hikes, with a terminal rate of ~3.93% now showing (in deposit rate terms), just shy of post-decision highs. Inflation persistence (despite tentative signs of softening) and the potential for higher for longer rates will be a focal point in the months ahead (a matter we touched on in our ECB preview).
