MORGAN STANLEY: ECB To Cut Refi Rates Further Next Month; Stay Bearish EUR/USD

"While the latest European PMIs have continued to show some signs of stabilization, these readings remain below the 50 boom/bust level, and the debate regarding ECB policy has gained renewed momentum. The discussion of negative (depo) rates has also intensified once again as a result of the decline of inflation rates and the dovish stance of the ECB at the May meeting.

In that regard, Morgan Stanley's European economists expect a further refi rate cut at the June meeting but are not expecting a deposit rate cut at this stage, given technical and political considerations regarding a move to negative deposit rates.

...

On the other hand, MS thinks that with Bernanke acknowledging that the Fed could begin tapering quantitative easing over the next couple of months, and with the FOMC minutes showing that a number of participants favoured a scaling back of QE as early as the next meeting, this has shifted the Fed’s stance towards the direction of the hawks."
