- The MPR develops the BOE's 3 scenario outlook further - and notes that the central forecasts are based on case 2 (which is where we assumed most members other than Mann align).
- However it does appear as though the MPR leans a bit more towards case 1 (faster cuts) than case 3 (slower cuts).
- The MPR notes that "Several developments may be consistent with this first case arising." then stating "There are several data developments that may be consistent with pay and price-setting dynamics normalising relatively quickly."
- On case 3 it notes "A range of developments may support this third case materialising." then states "There are some signs in the data that, were they to continue, may be consistent with this case."
- So despite the forecasts coming in higher than expected (albeit on stale rate paths), and Bailey's comments accompanying the release on the hawkish side, these hints from the MPR MAY hint towards a more dovish press conference.
