Expected BoE/ECB Cuts Pull Back Again On US CPI

STIR
  • ECB easing expectations were pulled back Thursday, with the 63bp of cuts seen from the Dec 2023 peak to end-2024 - 8bp less than seen Wednesday.
  • That is the least cutting priced since Oct 4 and comes largely on the back of a stronger-than-expected US CPI figure and despite the ECB's September meeting minutes seen cementing expectations that the central bank is finished with hikes (just 2bp further tightening priced, up under 1bp on the day).
  • The expected pace of BoE cut pricing from peak is similar at 64bp in the 12 months from the Q1 2024 peak - today took 4bp out of expected cuts. Peak hike pricing picked up 1bp on the day, implying 13bp of hikes left in the cycle.
  • Monthly UK activity data this morning was largely in line but manufacturing was seen to be on the soft side, with nothing in the report to suggest the BoE will be more likely to hike in November (just under 7bp of a hike priced).
