STIR: 60% Implied Probability of Oct Cut At Odds With Recent Speaker Rhetoric
STIR
ECB-dated OIS continue to price a 60% implied probability of a 25bp cut at the October meeting, up from around 20% at the start of this week. Current pricing is seemingly at odds with recent Governing Council rhetoric and the MNI Policy Team’s latest interview with an ex-Board member.
- The weaker-than-expected flash PMIs on Monday spurred the initial dovish repricing, which extended further yesterday.
- The hawkish-leaning Knot said that he expects gradual interest rate cuts through H1 2025, but did not comment on specific meetings.
- Knot previously said that he was “more or less fine with market expectations of further cuts”, but this was prior to this week’s deepening of cut expectations.
- OIS price 48bps of cuts through year-end and 145bps through the June 2025 meeting.
- Euribor futures are flat to -1.5 ticks through the blues. YTD highs through to ERZ8 generally remain intact despite this week’s aggressive rally.
