Commentary

Last week saw an easing in Europe's high inflation. The flash headline CPI came in at 6.1% y/y which was lower than the 6.3% y/y expected and lower than the previous reading of 7% y/y. Flash core CPI was also lower than anticipated at 5.3% y/y (vs 5.5% y/y expected) and lower than the previous 5.6% y/y.

In response, the spread between the German and US 2-year notes has been narrowing since May. Despite this easing, the dovish stance does not seem to be gaining momentum in the lead-up to the upcoming policy announcement by the European Central Bank. President Christine Lagarde's recent remarks reaffirming her support for a more stringent approach have likely played a significant role in maintaining market expectations, with the July meeting still priced at a 40-45 basis points level.
