SONIA futures react to UK inflation print

STIR FUTURES

It has been an interesting start to the European session for STIR futures.

  • SONIA futures have seen the front couple of contracts through Dec-22 move higher on the day, small moves lower between Mar-23 and Sep-23 and then a flattening of the curve thereafter. This is largely on the back of this morning's UK inflation data which saw headline come in a tenth above expectations but core was in line, and the market had probably been looking for a bit of a higher print to firm up pricing ahead of the August MPC meeting in 2 weeks.
  • The Euribor and Eurodollar strips have seen smaller moves with the Euribor strip holding on to yesterday's losses following the sources pieces that stated the ECB will discuss a 50bp hike this week. The Euibor strip is flat to 1 tick lower on the day while the Eurodollar strip is flat to 2 ticks higher on the day.
