140bp of cuts priced; in line with our preview expectations for a downside miss

SONIA
  • We noted in the CPI preview that we thought around 140bp of cuts priced for 2024 was around the limit we thought the market could take here.
  • Even with today's data we still don't think a cut before May looks likely. The MNI Markets team thinks that the MPC will want to see a softening in Q1 wage growth and we won't get enough clarity on that until after the March meeting.
  • If that's the case we would only have six meetings left for the year (so 25*6=150bp).
  • So markets may overshoot over the next few days but when we do settle we still wouldn't look for this to be at a level above 140bp.
  • Pricing now is at about -140bp for the year, down around 21bp since yesterday's close.
