MNI BOE Review - August 2022: "Forceful" remains

The Bank of England raised Bank Rate by 50bp to 1.75% - a move that we had assigned a subjective 70% probability to. The vote split was 8-1 with only Tenreyro dovishly dissenting (and instead preferring a 25bp hike).

BoE- ReviewCentral Bank ReviewCentral Bank ReportsMarkets
  • At the August MPC meeting, the Bank of England raised Bank Rate by 50bp to 1.75% - a move that we had assigned a subjective 70% probability to, markets had been pricing at about an 80% probability, and a move that 64% of the 22 analyst previews that we had read before the meeting anticipated. The vote split was 8-1 with only Tenreyro dovishly dissenting (and instead preferring a 25bp hike).
  • We talk through the three notable factors in the outlook (formerly "guidance") language.
  • Analysts are now expecting a higher Bank Rate in 2022, but expectations for 2023 are little changed, with 8/18 analysts now expecting cuts in 2023 (and the market fully pricing a 2023 cut).
  • Despite this, we still think market pricing for 2022 is too high - and the MNI Markets' team's base case is for a 50bp September hike followed by a 25bp November hike.
  • The Bank also set up September by setting out, in great detail, the modalities of its active gilt sales programme.
