Source: Eurostat, 30/06/2018.

In June, the European Central Bank’s (ECB’s) Governing Council announced their intention to end the Asset Purchase Programme in December and to scale down asset purchases from a target of €30 billion per month to €15 billion from September, subject to incoming data. The main refinancing rate remains at 0.00%, the deposit facility rate at -0.40% and the marginal lending rate at 0.25%. The ECB appears to be in no hurry to raise rates, having replaced their previous stance “to remain at their present levels for an extended period of time” with a pledge to keep rates unchanged “at least through the summer of 2019”, which is longer than markets anticipated. ECB President Mario Draghi seemed unconcerned by recent evidence of a slowdown in growth, stating that the first-quarter’s 0.4% growth was “still high”. The Bank’s latest growth forecasts are 2.1% (revised down from 2.4%) for 2018 and unchanged at 1.90% for 2019 and 1.70% for 2020. Draghi did recognise that there had been an “undeniable increase in uncertainty” related to trade conflicts and the new Italian government and that the “risk of market volatility warrants monitoring”. He promised that monetary policy support would continue, with ECB asset holdings being reinvested and the option remaining open to increase or extend support if conditions deteriorate. The Governing Council next meets on 26 July. Market expectations are for the ECB to raise rates from September 2019 onwards, with expectations of an increase of between 15 basis points and 20 basis points followed by a further 20 basis points increase by the end of 2019, with the deposit rate likely to be 0% by the end of 2019.

While Italian politics stole the headlines there was also political unrest in Germany, triggered after June’s EU Summit; CSU leader Horst Seehofer openly criticised German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s negotiations on refugee policy and offered to resign. Merkel refused to support Seehofer’s controversial plan to turn away “secondary” migrants (those who are registered in another EU country) and the future of the 70-year conservative alliance between the Christian Democrat and Christian Social Union parties remains in the balance.

Eurozone headline consumer price inflation hit the 2% ECB “target” in June, supported by higher oil prices. The core measure, which excludes volatile components such as food and energy, slowed to 1%, while services inflation cooled to 1.3%. Italy and Spain released stronger inflation data: Italy’s rate jumped to 1.5% in June from 1% in May, while Spain saw an increase to 2.3%, the fastest pace in more than a year. German inflation slowed slightly, to 2.1% in June down from 2.2% in May, as higher fuel costs were offset by softer growth in services prices.

EONIA averaged -0.362% in June, ending the month slightly lower at -0.358%. Excess cash deposited at the ECB averaged €1.865 trillion. Short-end money market yields continued to trade 10-15 basis points lower than EONIA. The Euribor curves moved one basis point higher over some periods: one-month Euribor averaged -0.37% (no change); three-month Euribor averaged -0.32% (one basis point higher); six-month Euribor averaged -0.27% (no change); nine-month Euribor averaged -0.21% (one basis point higher) and one-year Euribor averaged -0.18% (one basis point higher).

Trade-war concerns, political tension in Europe and divergence in monetary policy remained key themes entering the second half of 2018. The fund maintained its repo holdings, with slightly higher rates quoted for collateral over quarter end. In terms of unsecured deposits, we experienced adjustments as a result of some banks’ reallocations and pricing over quarter end. The fund’s agency holdings declined at the end of June, as some issuers chose not renew maturities. These were replaced with government paper to manage liquidity and credit requirements. We maintained our holdings of top-tier corporate entities and financials, targeting three to six month maturities. The fund’s weighted average was targeted around 45 days, with a well-laddered portfolio of diversified assets at all times.
