IS THE ECB FALLING BEHIND THE CURVE?
The ECB delivered a so-called hawkish cut yesterday, by reducing rates but give no hint of any faster easing in the future.
That happened despite weak economic data and a market gauge of inflation expectations nearing the ECB's target of 2%.
"It seems to us that a hawkish-leaning ECB, not very worried about growth, may need to be forced into faster cuts from behind the curve," says Jamie Searle, European rate strategist at Citi.
In central bank terms, "falling behind the curve" means monetary policy is not keeping pace with economic conditions, particularly in relation to inflation.
This week, the 5y5y forward inflation-linked swap (ILS), a market gauge of longer-term inflation expectations for the euro area, fell as low as 2.03%.
The "persistence into September (of the weakness in the 5y5y ILS) speaks to ECB hawkishness, weakness in commodities, global growth concerns, and diminished appetite to hedge long-term inflation risk vs recent year," Searle argues.
"Inflation market pricing for the path of inflation over the next couple of years is vastly lower than the new ECB projections and we think implies an emerging persistent undershoot versus the target."
