Recession Risks Soar Amid Surging ST Yields

CZECHIA
  • The sharp tightening in financial conditions with the surge in ST rates has been pricing in a significant deceleration in the economic activity.
  • Czech 2Y yield is up 100bps since the start of the month , gradually approaching its key resistance at 4.9% (June 2008 high).
  • Forward rates have been rising following recent CNB ‘hawkish’ comments, with the FRA 3Mx6M currently trading at 104bps above the Pribor 3M, implying that the market is pricing in a terminal rate at 5.5%.
  • This chart shows that the 2-year change in the Czech 2Y yield has strongly led the industrial production by 6 months (proxy for economic growth), and is currently pricing in a significant slowdown in the business activity.
