Steady for a couple of hours but Euribor strip up to 17 ticks lower

STIR FUTURES

Euribor and SONIA futures have remained steady (and the front-end of the SONIA moved a little off its lows) over the past couple of hours. This comes after some comments from ECB's Vasle suggested rate hikes could continue in Q4 - something already priced into markets but probabilities of hikes had fallen in last week's repricing. Against this backdrop, Eurodollar futures have moved lower, albeit with low liquidity due to Independence Day.

  • The Euribor strip has seen the biggest moves on the day - with the Jun-23 contract down 17.5 ticks on the day (but still 10 ticks higher than Thursday's close). Markets now price 28bp for the July ECB meeting, 75bp (cumulatively) by September, 111bp by October and 140bp by year-end (around 17bp above Friday's intraday low).
  • The SONIA strip is up to 14 ticks lower on the day (Jun-23 contract) and remains inverted after the Mar-23 contract. Markets now price 47bp for the August MPC meeting, 90bp (cumulatively) by September, 128bp by November and 156bp by year-end (this is around 20bp above Friday's intraday low).
  • The Eurodollar strip is lower through Whites and Reds by up to 5.0 ticks but remains inverted after the Dec-22 contract. Markets price around 70bp for a Fed July hike, 124bp (cumulatively) by September, 160bp by November and 178bp by year-end (up around 20bp above Friday's intraday low).
