Analyst expectations for the BOE meeting

BOE
  • 18/24 (75%) of the analyst previews that we read expect a first cut to Bank Rate this cycle (of 25bp), with 6/24 (25%) previews we have read expecting an on hold decision. 3 look for a September hike, 2 for November and 1 did not specify (other than saying not August).
  • In terms of the vote split, 13/15 (87%) of those who expected a cut looked for a 5-4 decision (and all who specified looked for Pill, Greene, Mann and Haskel as the expected dissenters). ING and SocGen both look for a 6-3 vote with Pill also voting for a cut.
  • Of those expecting an on hold decision, NatWest Markets expect an addition dissenting vote from the Governor while ANZ look for an unchanged
    7-2 vote.
  • In terms of CPI forecasts, the median expectation for the 2-year forecast is 1.9%, with all analysts who explicitly published a forecast in a 1.6-2.0% range.
  • At the three-year horizon, the median expectation is 1.7% with forecasts that we have seen ranging from 1.5-1.85%.
