Euribor futures are weaker alongside Bunds, currently -0.5 to -3.5 through the blues.
- Wednesday’s post-U.S. data rally has continued to unwind, with ERZ4 paring all of its related gains.
- ECB-dated OIS are back to pricing around 70bps of cuts through year-end.
- Overnight, ECB Executive Board member Schnabel told Nikkei that a July rate cut was unlikely based on current data.
- This aligns with market pricing, where just 5bps of sequential cuts are priced through the July meeting after 23bps of implied easing through June.
- Governing Council member Holzmann’s morning comments were in line with his usually hawkish stance.
- Today sees scheduled remarks from ECB’s Vasle, de Guindos, Vujcic, Holzmann and Kazaks, while Eurozone final HICP headlines the data calendar.
