European Hike Pricing Consolidates After Busy Week

STIR

ECB and BoE implied hiking paths are little changed to start the week, with ECB terminal depo Rate pricing +0.6bp to 3.95% (20bp of further hikes left in the cycle to Dec '23) and BoE terminal Bank Rate pricing +1bp to 6.02% (77bp of further hikes left in the cycle to Mar '24).

  • This is a consolidation of sorts after Friday's large drop in BoE implied hike pricing (peak implied -13bp) from a one-month high 6.14%, but still left hike pricing up 21bp on the week.
  • Even with the strip implying slightly higher terminal rates, September BoE hike pricing continues to fade from last week's peak implying 35% prob of a 50bp hike - while a 25bp hike is still fully priced, a 50bp hike is down to about 23% prob implied.
  • Compared with last week's heavy UK data slate, there is little on the European calendar until Wednesday's flash PMIs, with the main focus overall on Jackson Hole and Powell / Lagarde's speeches Friday.
