BoE-Dated OIS Incrementally Softer Today, Bulk Of Week’s Hawkish Repricing Consolidates

STIR

As noted elsewhere, BoE-dated OIS pricing has softened a touch today. The pullback from yesterday’s hawkish extremes in terminal policy rate pricing (6.68%) based ahead of 6.50% before ticking back up to just above 6.55%. That means that the bulk of this week’s hawkish repricing has been consolidated, as continued worry re: the domestic inflationary outlook, a lack of BoE guidance on the trajectory for monetary policy, a lack of meaningful receiver-side flow and sell-side reports cautioning on the potential for meaningfully higher rates leave pricing comfortably above levels that prevailed at the end of last week.

  • Halifax house price data revealed the largest Y/Y drop since ’11 as higher mortgage rates take hold, with plenty of worry apparent re: that space.
  • Looking ahead, comments from MPC hawk Mann headline the domestic docket ahead of the weekend (she will be a panellist in a discussion on ‘Challenges for policy after the return of inflation: new directions for research?’), with the potential for plenty of cross-market vol. surrounding U.S. NFPs.
