Futures Reverse Gains As Nail-biting Volatility Enters February World stocks began the new month on firmer ground, after a volatile January, as reassuring comments from Federal Reserve officials helped to calm rate-hike jitters even though US futures failed to extend recent gains. After closing out January with a furious two-day, dip-buying meltup thanks to a flood of inbound month-end rebalancing, US index futures briefly traded through Mondays highs, backed by decent rally in European equities where financials outperformed, boosted by solid UBS earnings, before dipping lower as the volatility seen in past days lingered.

Key Events This Week: ECB, BOE, Payrolls, Euro CPI And Earnings Galore It''s a relatively busy week with several key central bank announcements, notably from the ECB and BOE, as well as European CPI updates and the US payrolls report on Friday. Starting with the ECB, Deutsche Bank economists now expect a policy rate liftoff in December 2022 of 25bps, a view apparently shared by the market this morning. Theyre also anticipating a faster pace of tightening, with 25bp hikes in the deposit rate per quarter from December 2022, until rates reach +0.5% in September 2023. In terms of what it means for this February meeting, they write in their preview that they expect the slow, step-by-step pivot to exit will continue. Their view is that President Lagarde will reiterate the ECBs capacity to act once the inflation criteria in the rates guidance are met, whilst at the same time differentiating the needs of the Euro Area from the US. The other central bank decision that day is from the Bank of England, where expectations are for the BoE to follow up their December rate hike with another 25bps increase, taking the Bank Rate to 0.5%.
