Little Net Movement In ECB Pricing Today

STIR

The ECB-dated OIS strip essentially hangs on to all of Friday’s modest upward repricing of terminal rate expectations, which was driven by FOMC-pricing related moves. That leaves a terminal ECB deposit rate of 3.75% more or less fully priced come the end of the Bank’s September gathering, followed by ~18bp of cuts being priced by February.

  • Weekend ECB speak saw Vice President de Guindos point to the current monetary policy cycle moving into the home stretch, highlighting a meeting by meeting, data-dependent stance, while he also suggested that QT has led to a 60-70bp lift in government bond yields.
  • Elsewhere, Bank of Italy chief Visco generally echoed de Guindos, while highlighting that there was too much uncertainty present to predict the Bank’s exact rate path.
  • The two stuck to the dovish side of the spectrum, as is their norm.
  • We also heard from Slovakian central bank chief Kazimir, who reaffirmed his recent hawkish line of rhetoric, warning of the potential for a longer than previously envisaged round of rate hikes.
  • Bundesbank chief Nagel will speak later today, although he provided plenty of hawkish rhetoric recently, so don’t expect too much fresh policy steer from him.
