STIR: ESTR Forward Curve Remarkably Flat Over The Next Two Years
EUR STIRs remain focused on Thursday’s ECB decision. Less weak-than-expected French industrial production data had little impact on the space. Although markets continue to price a risk of one more ECB cut this cycle (in line with our policy team’s recent reporting), the forward curve over the next few years is remarkably flat.
- The 1y ESTR rate is 1.84%, while the 1y1y rate is 1.83% at typing. Over the next two years, the opposing forces of higher effective tariff rates and increased German fiscal stimulus will be key in determining whether such a flat curve shape is warranted.
- Further out, we estimate the 4y1y ESTR rate at 2.40%.
- ECB-dated OIS price 17.5bps of easing through July 2026.
- Euribor futures are flat to -2.0 ticks through the blues. Early flow has included a buyer of the 97.50 put calendar spread: ERM6/ERH6 97.50 put calendar, paper pays net 0.5 for the M6 option in 5k. This strategy looks to take advantage of steady ECB rates into Q1 2026, before the risk of hikes becomes more apparent in Q2 onwards.
- Yesterday, we sent out a summary of analyst expectations for the ECB’s September macroeconomic projections, which will likely shape the tone of Thursday’s policy statement and press conference. Overall, analysts don’t expect major revisions, but as always there are a range of estimates. See here and here.
- MNI’s full ECB preview will be released later today.
