CPI Due 1600GMT, Forward Rates Inch Higher

RUSSIA
  • Since the last CBR meeting, markets have bolstered CBR rate hike bets with the bank chasing runaway pricing pressures and high second round effects from de-anchored expectations.
  • The CBR delivered above expectations in October, hiking +75bp with markets having priced in just less than +50bp for the meeting with a +25bp option into year-end. 3x6 FRA-Mosprime spreads now reflect a tighter picture with an additional +117bp in hikes envisaged over a 3-6m period.
  • In the prior statement, the CBR dropped phrasing surrounding an expectation for a 4Q21 moderation in CPI as price pressures continue to rise unabated towards the 8% mark - well above the CBR's 4% target. Similar to September, this is mostly reflective of fruit and vegetable prices.
  • Most sell-side institutions foresee a further rise in headline CPI to 8.2-8.4% y/y in November, before more December's favourable base effects kick in to bring the FY number towards 7.8-8.00% - aided by a dissipation of the food shock and a firmer RUB.
