Short sterling strip continues to outperform

STIR FUTURES

The short sterling strip is continuing to outperform the Euribor and Eurodollar strips as the market continues to adjust pricing following last week's BOE meeting and further negative headlines this morning on EU-UK relations.

  • The short sterling strip continues to fully price in a 15bp hike by February (and continues to price in a high probability of a December hike). Looking ahead, Bank Rate at 1% is still being priced by the end of 2022 - this still seems a bit too much to us, but a much more plausible outcome than the higher-than 1.25% rate being priced at one point last week.
  • A first hike from the ECB is still priced in for 2022 (but only one 10bp hike, rather than closer to 25-30bp a week ago).
  • The first Fed hike is priced around the middle of 2022, with rates almost fully priced at 0.75% by the end of the year.
