STIR: Just Under 50bp Of BoE Cuts Priced Through '25
STIR
Weakness in wider core global FI markets has some hawkish readthrough for GBP STIRs this morning, although the space remains comfortably off yesterday’s hawkish cycle extremes.
- BoE-dated OIS shows 49bp of cuts through year-end, with the next 25bp a little over 80% discounted through the March MPC and more than fully discounted through the May meeting.
- SONIA futures flat to -4.5.
- Late Thursday comments from BoE Deputy Governor Breeden initially fell in line with the MPC’s central preference for gradual rate cuts, with the subsequent Q&A session providing some slightly more dovish snippets.
- We still look for rate cuts in February and May, with the dovish offerings in Breeden’s Q&A giving us slightly more conviction.
- Macro focus falls on U.S. NFP data ahead of the weekend, with little of note on the UK calendar.
