BoE Terminal Pricing Remains In Familiar Zone, With Hike this Week Virtually Fully Priced

STIR

As we have noted elsewhere, a 25bp hike come the end of this week’s BoE meeting is priced with near certainty (expect our full preview of that event to be published at some point today), while terminal rate pricing indicates just under 70bp of cumulative tightening from current effective SONIA levels, to the ~4.85% mark, leaving benchmark BoE terminal rate pricing in the familiar 4.90-5.00% window. Just over 25bp of rate cuts are then priced by Mar ’24.

  • Cost of living pressures (albeit with energy prices well shy of their well-documented, recent peaks) and the political backdrop continue to garner the bulk of the domestic headline flow.
