MNI PREVIEW - With 50bps Fully Priced, Focus Shifts To The March

ECB
  • The ECB is set to hike policy rates by 50bp at the February meeting – a position that has now been well telegraphed and fully priced by the market.
  • There is unlikely to be any surprise policy innovation beyond some technical details on how QT will be implemented.
  • Markets will look for any clues on the March policy rate decision and we believe it more likely than not that Lagarde will hint at a similar sized hike at that meeting.
