CROSS ASSET
- Once again, much focus on the higher front-end of the UK Gilt curve and money markets bringing forward pricing for the expected beginning of a tightening cycle from the BoE. Money markets now pricing circa 25bps for December this year, with rates seen reaching 1% by November 2022.
- Despite the move in UK fixed income, GBP is seeing no reprieve, with the currency strictly mid-table against the rest of G10.
