MNI BoE Preview - November 2024: Focus on inflation forecasts
We expect a 25bp cut. The focus will be on the CPI forecasts - we see risk of either higher modal or mean projections.
MNI (LONDON) - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
- We, along with the vast majority of analysts and markets, would be very surprised to see anything other than a 25bp cut at the November MPC meeting.
- Inflation no longer consistently overshooting targets and continued moderation in wage growth argue in favour of removing restriction further.
- However, we think there is a good chance of higher-than-expected inflation forecast. We are concerned that the extra cost of lower paid workers' wage increases plus employer NI increases will be passed through to services inflation.
- Budget uncertainty may increase BOE cautiousness surrounding cuts - and could lead to 3 dissents against a cut at this meeting.
