Firmer-Than-Expected Spanish Inflation Prompts Pay-Side Flows In ECB-Dated OIS

STIR

The firmer-than-expected Spanish flash January inflation print prompts pay-side flows in ECB-dated OIS, with 143bps of rate cuts priced through 2024 (vs 146bps pre-data), while a 25bp cut through the end of the April meeting is now slightly less than fully priced. The Euribor strip is now -4.0 to +0.5 through the blues, pulling further away from early London bests.

  • Lower-than-expected borrowing estimates from the US Treasury and China-centric worry seemed to promote a bid through Asia-Pac hours.
  • The remainder of today's regional docket is heavy, highlighted by Q4 flash GDP figures. The French estimate, released this morning, was in line with expectations at 0.0% Q/Q while the Spanish estimate was firmer than consensus at 0.6% Q/Q
