STIR: Just Under 110bp OF ECB Cuts Priced Through ’25, CPI Data Eyed Next Week

STIR

Hawkish repricing in EUR STIRs today, which stands out given the lack of meaningful movement in U.S. & UK equivalents (covered in greater detail earlier).

  • ECB-dated OIS now shows ~108bp of cuts through year-end, with the pricing of cuts very much frontloaded.
  • ~91bp of easing showing through June and outside chances of 50bp steps priced across the next two ECB decisions.
  • Euribor futures 2.0-8.0 lower, with the late whites and early reds leading the move.
  • Markets continue to price a sharper ECB cutting cycle through ’25, when compared to both the Fed & BoE.
  • Fundamentals and relative central bank justify those spreads, with tariff & growth worries further amplifying the divergence in pricing.
  • December’s preliminary Eurozone CPI data (Tuesday) headline’s next week regional release calendar.
  • Our full preview of that release can be found here.
