ECB will stay the course and keep key rates at the peak level for longer

En bref

A 50 bps rate hike today and another one in March: At today’s meeting, the GC lifted its key rates by another 50 bps, thereby bringing the deposit rate to 2.5% and the repo rate to 3.0%, in line with expectations. It also almost committed to another 50 bps hike at the next meeting in March. Then it will “evaluate the subsequent path of its monetary policy.”

Highlights:

  • At today’s meeting, the ECB’s Governing Council (GC) lifted its key rates by another 50 bps, in line with expectations, and “intends” a further 50 bps hike for March. Thereafter the monetary policy path will be evaluated.
  • Starting in March, the APP reduction by € 15 bn per month will be done according to the redemption’s share of each sub-program. Regarding sovereign bonds (PSPP), this principle will also apply to the share of redemptions of each sovereign. Corporate bond reinvestments will be tilted towards greener firms. 
  • In the accompanying press conference, President Lagarde again adopted a hawkish tone in our view. She made clear that further hikes would be needed beyond March as there is still “ground to cover” and that rates should be kept at a sufficiently restrictive level to ensure inflation goes back to target. 
  • We continue to look for a further 50 bps hike in March, followed by two further 25 bps hikes in Q2, lifting the deposit rate to 3.5%. This is at odds with markets that somewhat scaled down their expectation and see the peak at 3.4%. 
  • Markets perceived today’s message as relatively dovish. In a knee-jerk reaction, equities gained, sovereign yields fell, and the EUR declined
