BoE Pricing Favours 25bp Step Today

STIR

A little more colour when it comes to the previously outlined moves away from early July hawkish extremes in BoE-dated OIS pricing after the recent run of tier 1 domestic data facilitated a meaningful pullback in pricing. The contract covering today’s meeting shows around 32.5bp of tightening priced, a little over 15bp shy of the most hawkish closing levels witnessed in early July, while terminal policy rate pricing has eased by ~75bp (also based on closing levels) over that horizon, to stand just below 5.85%, as well as rolling forwards to the February MPC from the May MPC. Intraday highs were more pronounced than closing levels, but markets were particularly thin at that time, so we have marked the moves against the closes.
