BoE Cut Pricing Deepens, ECB Steady

STIR

Expectations for BoE cuts rose further Thursday, with implied reductions in the year following the Feb/Mar 2024 peak up to 84bp, vs 76bp Wednesday.

  • That repricing comes despite what was seen as a largely in-line BoE decision, including a rate hold on a 6-3 vote, and alongside little change in terminal Bank rate expectations (+7bp to Feb 2024).
  • Indeed there had been as many as 88-89bp in cuts priced at the session low in the afternoon, but recovered to pre-BoE decision levels thereafter.

ECB cut pricing in the 1 year from peak remained relatively stable at 89bp (over the course of 2024).

  • Once again, there are no further hikes seen in this cycle, with the first cut set to be implemented by mid-2024.
