STIR
SONIA futures benefit from Thursday’s late uptick in core global FI markets, leaving contracts 0.25-2.5 firmer through the blues.
- BoE-dated OIS shows ~46bp of cuts through year end, with the first 25bp move fully discounted come the end of the Sep MPC. A little over 85% odds of a 25bp cut are priced through the Aug meeting.
- Local headline flow has been dominated by political matters, with the ruling Conservative Party losing a seat in a by-election and struggling in local elections.
- A reminder that previous speculation had pointed to a potential leadership challenge for PM Sunak in the wake of poor results.
- Final services PMI data headlines a limited UK calendar.
- U.S. matters are likely to dominate, with the latest labour market report due at 13:30 London.
