Market Impact
Interest rate-sensitive two-year German bond yields and the euro fell on Thursday and money markets slightly trimmed their bets on the ECB’s peak rate, which they now see at 3.65%. Markets which had bet on rates peaking at 3.75% by September pared back their expectations. Investors now see the terminal rate at around 3.65%, indicating that one more hike is fully priced in but that opinion is split on a second move.
