MNI BOE Preview - September 2022: Will QT be delayed?

  • The MNI Markets team thinks that with growth already starting to show some signs of slowing and with Bank Rate getting back to neutral (and potentially in the eyes of some additional MPC members into restrictive territory) that the limitation to upside inflation expectations from the energy price support scheme will be enough to sway the majority of MPC members to vote for a 50bp hike rather than a 75bp hike. We also think the “forceful” language will be maintained at least until the new November MPR forecasts.
  • However, this is far from a foregone conclusion and since the August MPC meeting we have only heard from four MPC members.
  • The MNI Markets team is concerned that the risks of a delay or alteration to the plan for active gilt sales is much higher than the market anticipates. We discuss this and the Bank of England's options if it decides not to confirm the beginning of active gilt sales this week.
