Futures Rally On U.S. Data, Recent Highs Intact
STIR
The softer-than-expected U.S. retail sales data provides a catalyst after a relatively limited morning session for SONIA futures.
- Contracts last trade +0.25 to +5.0, at/a little below U.S. data-driven session highs.
- Zooming out, recent range highs remain intact across the strip.
- BoE-dated OIS shows ~43bp of cuts through ’24 vs. ~40bp earlier today.
- Brightmine wage data will cross just after midnight, but it will be the latest round of monthly CPI data that generates the largest market reaction at Wednesday’s open.
- The MNI markets team thinks that there are two-way risks to the key services CPI print, but downside risks outweigh upside risks, in our view.
- Our full preview of that release can be found here.
- Our preview of Thursday’s BoE decision will be released in the coming hours.
