STIR: ECB Implied Cuts Up to 2bps Less Dovish, Focus On Thurs/Fri Inflation

STIR

ECB-dated OIS are up to 2bps less dovish versus yesterday’s close, with end-2025 implied cuts at 148bps (vs ~150bps yesterday). There are 33.5bps of easing priced through the December meeting, corresponding to a ~35% implied probability of a 50bp cut.

  • A few ECB speakers have been a little more dovish since last Friday’s flash PMIs, but there doesn’t seem to be much appetite to signal the chance of a larger cut than 25bps.
  • Yesterday, ECB’s Kazaks provided a more assured view that a cut will be delivered in December. Meanwhile, while Irish CB Governor Makhlouf said he was “open-minded” on the slope of the downward trajectory in policy rates, with recent data making him “increasingly confident” of reaching the 2% target in 2025.
  • Several ECB speakers are due today (Villeroy, Centeno, Rehn, Muller and Kazaks), with the data calendar otherwise light. Focus remains on the November flash inflation round starting on Thursday.
