65bp Added To BoE Hike Pricing This Week

STIR

Pricing for the cumulative hikes remaining in the BoE's tightening cycle has risen by 65bp this week, with the equivalent of two 25bp hikes added to the path the last two sessions alone. While ECB and Fed pricing have also risen this week (7bp and 18bp respectively), they haven't come close to matching the UK sell-off. Today's changes:

  • BoE terminal Bank Rate pricing +18bp to 5.62% (113bp of further hikes left in the cycle). 35bp priced for the next meeting in June (around 40% prob of a 50bp hike). Few major UK-focused catalysts today, but repricing continued following Wednesday's surprisingly high CPI figures and terminal rates hit the highest since exceeding 6% last September. We get UK retail sales first thing Friday morning.
  • ECB terminal depo Rate pricing +3.7bp to 3.85% (60bp of further hikes left in the cycle). 24bp priced for the next meeting in June (around 96% prob of a 25bp hike). For the moment, ECB rates are being dragged higher mostly by UK and US developments.
