Terminal ECB Pricing Hits A New Cycle High

STIR

ECB terminal hike pricing is up 4bp on the day, enough to push the terminal rate to a new cycle high, somewhat lagging but mirroring a rise in US (+7bp) and UK (+10bp) peak rate expectations today.

  • 117bp in further ECB hikes are now implied from here to September, with a depo rate of 3.67%. A 50bp hike in March is 96% priced, with 100bp total hikes priced by June (weighted heavily toward a May 50bp, with a potential for two 25bp hikes).
  • As terminal pricing has moved further out, 2023 ECB cuts have been nearly priced out, with just 3bp in reductions seen from the peak to the Dec meeting (vs 8bp yesterday).
