BoE Pricing Comfortably Off Extremes Into BoE, Greater Market Risk Probably On Dovish Side

STIR

A visualisation of the swings in BoE-dated OIS pricing through the end of ’24 in the time since the March MPC can be seen below.

  • Pricing is comfortably off extremes, albeit a little closer to the hawkish boundary than the dovish boundary,
  • BoE-dated OIS shows close to 25bp less easing through year end than at the close that followed the March MPC.
  • Repricing surrounding the U.S. Fed has been a major factor, with sporadic activity surrounding UK data releases and a dovish round of commentary from BoE Deputy Governor Ramsden also seen in that window.
  • Our full preview of the impending BoE decision can be found here.
  • On Wednesday we suggested that a dovish BoE outcome probably presents the greatest risk to current market pricing, although the move away from recent hawkish extremes provides a little more balance to the risk profile heading into the decision (click for more).
