ECB Rate Cut Pricing Moderates Further Through Lane Speech

STIR

ECB Lane's Q&A at the Brookings Institution has ended, with his rhetoric broadly in line with previous comments r.e. needing more confidence in inflation and wage growth dynamics before considering easing. Global core FI and the Euribor strip drifted lower through the speech, though this was largely a continuation of today's price action rather than any Lane-specific dynamics.

  • ECB-dated OIS contracts now price around 121bps of rate cuts through 2024 (down from 125bps this morning). This is the smallest amount of easing priced through 2024 since November last year.
  • Tomorrow's docket features final CPI readings from Germany alongside Italian industrial production, though the annual CPI revisions in the US will likely garner most cross-market attention.
