Investors adopt "higher for longer" view on ECB rates
Aug 14 (Reuters) - Investors are increasingly pricing in a "higher for longer" interest rate environment in the euro zone, with a potential cut in March seen as a temporary blip before borrowing rates climb back above 2%. A number of market-based measures of rate expectations indicate that investors are growing less concerned about the deflationary impact of tariffs following the recent trade deal between the United States and the European Union. They're also confident that a sharp increase in fiscal spending in Germany will boost the economy, thereby reducing the need for more rate cuts in the longer term. Several investment banks, including Goldman Sachs, have revised their forecasts, now anticipating that the European Central Bank has ended its current easing cycle. While trade risks could still weigh on growth and inflation, these banks believe the ECB, which offered an upbeat assessment of the euro zone economy after its latest meeting, is likely to hold rates at 2% for the foreseeable future. Erring on the side of caution, markets are pricing in the risk of a pick up in deflationary pressure early next year if tariff negotiations falter, which is showing up as an implied ECB rate cut in March. In the meantime, the euro has risen by nearly 3% this month as investors increasingly expect the U.S. Federal Reserve to resume rate cuts in September, while the ECB stays put. "Higher for longer" was a narrative that dominated markets in 2022 and 2023 as central banks grappled with stubborn inflation stemming from the COVID pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Here are some of the market indicators that reflect its return. Forward contracts on the ECB's official overnight benchmark interest rate, the euro short-term rate (ESTR), imply around a 60% chance of a 25 basis point rate cut by March, and a deposit rate of 1.92% in December 2026. This reflects traders' assumptions about the likely path for monetary policy. 'In the short term... there is the potential of inflation undershooting. It's a bit of Trump. It's a bit of economic weakness,' said Carsten Brzeski, global head of macro research at ING. 'Our view is that inflation will remain structurally above 2% in the coming years, driven by fiscal spending and the restructuring of supply chains, which will increase costs for companies,' he said. He added that policy rates could reach the upper bound of the ECB's official 1.75% to 2.25% range for the neutral rate - that which is neither accommodative nor restrictive - and shift into tightening territory if required. The euro short-term rate (ESTR) 5-year overnight index swap (OIS) is seen as a barometer of the medium-term monetary policy outlook and can be loosely used as a market-implied gauge of the neutral rate. The swap rate hit a high of 2.406% in early March, when Germany agreed on the biggest overhaul to its fiscal spending in decades, and has since fallen to around 2.12%, having traded above the 2% mark consistently for the last six weeks. 'We're a bit more negative on growth than everyone else and a bit more worried about inflation than everyone else,' said Lyn Graham-Taylor, senior rates strategist at Rabobank. 'But we've literally no change for the deposit rate out till the end of 2027,' he added. The Euro Interbank Offered Rate reflects the average rate at which major European banks lend unsecured funds to one another. The Euribor rate also captures some credit risk because of the involvement of banks. The curve mirrors that of ESTR forwards, so it also suggests rates could dip modestly by March before rising above 2% again into 2027. Paul Hollingsworth, head of developed markets economics at BNP Paribas, believes the ECB's next move will be to hike rates in the fourth quarter of next year. 'I see the rate hike as a recalibration within the neutral the balance of data and risks shifts from the drag of tariffs toward a more positive impulse driven by fiscal policy,' he said.

Morning Bid: Bitcoin joins the risk-on party
A look at the day ahead in European and global markets from Ankur Banerjee You know markets are fully risk-on when cryptocurrencies are on a tear, with bitcoin joining global stocks to scale a record peak as the near certainty of U.S. interest rate cuts bolsters risk sentiment and weighs on the dollar. The world's best-known cryptocurrency, bitcoin , has a lot going for it: prospects of lower interest rates, a more favourable regulatory environment, and bullish inflows from institutional investors. Ether too has been on the charge, hovering near its highest since November 2021, becoming the token of choice for those looking for more active returns. In fact, ether is up 42% this year, outstripping the 32% gain for bitcoin. Stocks in Asia were taking a bit of a breather after a blistering rally this week. Japanese shares fell after hitting a record high, while tech-heavy Taiwan and South Korean shares eased after recent highs. Investors are wagering that the Federal Reserve will resume cutting interest rates from next month, with traders starting to even price in odds of a 50 basis points cut after comments from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. "If we'd seen those numbers in May, in June, I suspect we could have had rate cuts in June and July. So that tells me that there's a very good chance of a 50 basis-point rate cut," in September, Bessent said in an interview on Bloomberg Television. Fed Chair Jerome Powell, who has been regularly lambasted by U.S. President Donald Trump, is expected to speak at a central bank research conference in Wyoming next week and the focus will be on his tone on policy path. Bessent also said the Bank of Japan will likely be raising interest rates as it is behind the curve in dealing with the risk of inflation, leading to strong gains in the yen , which stayed around its strongest level in three weeks. Investor focus during European hours will be on a swathe of economic data that will offer a glimpse of the tariff uncertainties and the impact of the duties on the economy.

Drop in new properties for rent is steepest since Covid, says Rics
The flow of new rental properties coming on to the market has fallen at the fastest rate since the first Covid lockdown five years ago, according to research by Britain's property surveyors. Although the demand for properties is steady, there are fewer new rentals from landlords coming available, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) found. The July 2025 Rics Residential Market Survey showed a 'firmly negative trend' in landlords making their properties available for rent, the weakest reading since April 2020. With the lack of fresh supply in the pipeline, rental prices are expected to rise over the next three months, according to the report, which takes a monthly 'sentiment survey' of chartered surveyors. The expected rise comes after another report this week found the average private rents in Great Britain had fallen marginally for the first time in five years. The estate agent Hamptons said lower mortgage rates had helped to take some heat out of the market and that the average rent on a newly let property fell by 0.2% in July compared with a year earlier. The Rics report also said new inquiries from homebuyers had fallen in July, suggesting a softening in demand compared with earlier in the summer. In June, most of those surveyed said there had been a rise in fresh inquiries. Sign up to Business Today Get set for the working day – we'll point you to all the business news and analysis you need every morning after newsletter promotion Simon Rubinsohn, chief economist at Rics, said the flatter tone of the latest report showed the market was facing challenges. Last week, the Bank of England voted for a fifth cut in interest rates in a year, reducing the cost of borrowing to 4% amid concerns about the strength of the UK economy. 'Although interest rates were lowered at the latest Bank of England meeting, the split vote has raised doubts about both the timing and extent of further reductions,' Rubinsohn said. 'Meanwhile, uncertainty about the potential contents of the chancellor's autumn budget is also raising some concerns. Against this backdrop, respondents continue to report that the market remains particularly price sensitive at the present time.' The estate agent Knight Frank said the renters' rights bill, which is due to come into force next year and is aimed at reforming the sector, has meant landlords were now increasingly looking to sell. '[Shrinking supply] is one unintended consequence of the forthcoming renters' rights bill, which could make it more onerous to regain possession of a property and raises the risk of void periods,' said Tom Bill, head of residential research. Sarah Coles, head of personal finance at the investment platform Hargreaves Lansdown, said the Rics survey showed 'the era of runaway rents isn't over yet' as more people were now chasing fewer homes. One of its recent surveys found that the average renting household had just £62 left at the end of the month.
