BoE Terminal Expectations Dip Post-CPI

STIR

A weaker-than-expected UK CPI reading this morning saw BoE peak rate pricing erase this week's rise. Aug '23 rates are seen at 4.57%, vs nearly 4.70% at Tuesday's close, and back at last Friday's closing levels.

  • Monday and Tuesday had seen a sharp rise in expectations in part due to strong nominal wage gains, and BoE's Bailey citing potential for second-round inflation effects.
  • Pricing for tomorrow's decision dipped 1-2bp, but is still firmly in favour of 50bp as opposed to 75bp with 54bp implied.
  • ECB peak pricing is relatively steady by comparison with tomorrow's decision seen likewise at 54bp (ie 16% chance of a 75bp raise), with terminal rates seen in the low 2.80% area.
