STIR: New ‘Hawkish’ Extreme In End-2024 ECB Implied Cuts
STIR
ECB-dated OIS contracts price 60bps of cuts through the remainder of 2024, a new ‘hawkish’ extreme for this cycle.
- A 25bps cut in June remains almost 90% discounted.
- ERZ4 is now through the April 30 low flagged earlier, as markets digest this morning’s May flash PMIs.
- The firmer than-expected German PMI readings drove the initial pressure across STIRs/core FI, with the Eurozone-wide print providing no relief.
- The UK PMI data has facilitated some stabilisation in the last few minutes.
- Focus now turns to the ECB’s negotiated wages indicator, due at 1000BST.
