BoE Pricing Off Pullback Extremes, Pricing Did Not Move Below 100bp Of Cuts For '24

STIR

As noted elsewhere, cross-market outperformance in gilts comes alongside a receiver-side bias in UK STIR markets. Cleaner positioning in the STIR space and more attractive entry points (after yesterday's CPI-induced extension of the pullback from dovish extremes) will be factoring in to the move.

  • UK headline flow has been pretty quiet, with J.P.Morgan's updated BoE call getting a wider airing (they now see the first cut in Aug '24 vs. Nov '24 previously). Note that they adjusted their call yesterday, so this isn't new news.
  • The BoE-dated OIS strip now shows 109bp of cuts through '24, after that market got within a couple of bp of 100bp of cuts being priced earlier in the day/late yesterday.
  • Further forward, the strip prices greater than even odds (~14bp) of the first 25bp cut coming by the end of the May '24 MPC, after less than 12.5bp of easing (sub-50% odds of a 25bp cut) was priced earlier.
