INFLATION: EUR Expectations Echo Tracking Between Baseline & Adverse Scenario
Apr-22 15:22
Eurozone market-based inflation expectations have continued to broadly plateau, with the 1Y trending a little lower over the past two weeks but a range of subsequent metrics from 1Y1Y to 5Y5Y keeping within steady ranges.
The 1Y at 3.16% (+136bp during Iran war) remains comfortably above the 2% inflation target but the 1Y1Y is still relatively well anchored at 2.24% (+49bp).
Notably, considering the paring of losses in European equities, there has been very limited pullback in 1Y1Y inflation expectations since the 2.31% highest close on Mar 20 (it peaked higher on Mar 23 before the delay of US strikes on Iranian infrastructure at the time).
The 5Y5Y is particularly well anchored meanwhile, at 2.13% for just 4bps above pre-war levels.
Inflation expectations at least therefore do indeed look somewhere between the ECB’s baseline and adverse scenario laid out in March, a point made by various ECB policymakers including Lagarde again earlier this week. It's likely helped by expectations of rate hikes ahead (~60bp of hikes currently vs ~40bp at the projection cut-off).
ECB projections saw headline inflation average 2.6% in 2026 and 2.0% in 2027, whilst adverse scenario saw headline 0.9pps higher in 2026 & 0.1pp higher in 2027 and the severe scenario saw inflation 1.8pps higher in 2027 and 2.8pps higher in 2027.
