German PPI & UK Retail Sales Allows Euribor To Move Away From Lows

STIR

The Euribor strip firmed following the lower-than-expected German PPI and soft UK retail sales data, to last print -0.5 to +1.0 vs yesterday's settlement levels.

  • ECB-dated OIS contracts continue to price around 137bps of rate cuts through 2024, with this morning's data doing little to counter the impetus from the hawkish signals from ECB-speak and UK/US data releases seen earlier in the week.
  • Bloomberg released its pre-ECB analyst survey, with the majority expecting the first 25bp ECB rate cut to have come by the end of the June meeting (in line with yesterday's Reuters survey).
  • Plenty of other details re: expectations surrounding wider ECB policy matters can be found within the survey.
  • The regional Eurozone data docket is light today, with markets looking ahead to US UoM inflation expectations and Fed-speak this afternoon. The ECB has entered its pre-meeting quiet period, though Lagarde will still appear on a panel discussing "Creating jobs for a new era" in Davos (wider monetary policy remarks are not expected).
