Yesterday's Downtick In ECB Pricing Consolidates, Today's Speakers May Not Move Needle

STIR

Yesterday’s ECB consumer inflation expectations survey-inspired tick lower in ECB-dated OIS pricing consolidates, even with crude oil futures rebounding from Tuesday’s worst levels (EUR 5y/5y inflation linked swaps have moved back above 2.50%, just, after their limited foray below yesterday).

  • That leaves broader ECB pricing in familiar territory, with terminal pricing currently residing in the 3.75-3.80% window (in deposit rate terms).
  • Executive Board member Schnabel has once again stressed that underlying inflation remains “high,” with a peak in underlying inflation not deemed enough when it comes to declaring ‘victory.’ She also highlighted the Bank’s data-dependent stance.
  • ECB speak will headline the regional docket today, with de Guindos, Panetta, Knot and Vujcic all slated. All of those individuals have spoken within the last week or so, perhaps limiting the scope for meaningful market impact.
