NextImg:ECB Set To Test Market Positioning On Rate Trajectory

By Ven Ram, Bloomberg Markets Live reporter and strategist

Front-end German bonds have so far resisted the upside risk to the European Central Bank’s rate trajectory. That may not last.

The two-year yield has been bobbing in a 2.50%-3% range for a few months, even though interest-rate traders are factoring in a higher terminal rate than they were at the start of the year. These points are what traders are watching for:

Statement:

“The Governing Council’s future decisions will ensure that the policy rates will be brought to levels sufficiently restrictive to achieve a timely return of inflation to the 2% medium-term target and will be kept at those levels for as long as necessary. The Governing Council will continue to follow a data-dependent approach to determining the appropriate level and duration of restriction.”

Macroeconomic projections:

All told, the markets are ill-prepared for the ECB raising rates much higher than 3.75%, and it’s possible that today’s policy review may provide a reality check on that pricing.
