Dovish Unwind Continues In GBP Markets

STIR

The moves in wider core global FI markets seen since yesterday’s close keeps the pressure on SONIA markets, with futures flat to -4.0 through the blues.

  • Meanwhile, BoE-dated OIS continues to unwind pricing of rate cuts, now showing ~77bp of cuts through ’24, a new '24 extreme.
  • As we have noted elsewhere, comments from BoE MPC hawkish dissenter Haskel sounded a little less hawkish than those of colleague (and fellow hawkish dissenter) Mann, although it remains unclear if he will change his vote in March. See earlier bullets for further details.
  • The local docket is essentially empty to end the week, which will leave focus on wider macro and cross-market matters, as well as flow reaction to the move in wider bonds/fresh extremes in ’24 BoE pricing.
