ECB Pricing Incrementally Softer, Busy speaker Slate today

STIR

Core bond price action helps bias ECB-dated OIS a little softer when looking beyond the next couple of meetings. Terminal rate pricing hovers just above 3.75% in ECB deposit rate terms.

  • A quick reminder that the weekend saw ECB President Lagarde stress that the Bank has more ground to cover, reaffirming her previous line of messaging, even with a large part of the tightening journey now in the rear-view. She also underlined the ECB’s data-dependent stance, while noting that the Bank is not pausing based on the information that it has to hand at present.
  • Elsewhere, late on Friday we saw ECB Executive Board Member Schnabel note that the Bank can keep acting to return inflation to target, underscoring the need to get rates to a sufficiently restrictive level, with further ground to cover on rates and a need to hold them at a sufficiently restrictive level for some time when the hiking cycle is over.
  • Monday’s ECB speak will bring comments from de Guindos, Lane, Villeroy, de Cos, Holzmann & Vujcic.
