MNI BOE Review: September 2023: Are we there yet? Probably...

BOE
  • The Bank of England left Bank Rate on hold, forward guidance unchanged and set a GBP100bln target for APF reduction in the 12-months beginning October 2023.
  • Following the downside surprise to August inflation, the MNI Markets team had seen it as 50/50 as to whether there was a hike but had noted that there was an increased probability of dissent at this meeting.
  • The MNI Markets team’s base case agrees with the sell-side consensus that we have now seen the final hike. We also think that the emphasis on private sector AWE will be a little reduced.
  • The MNI Markets team think the language change in the APF Market Notice increases the probability that either the weighting of the buckets or the buckets themselves may be tweaked.
  • We have read through over 20 sell side reviews. All have a base case that the terminal rate has been reached and 86% expect the first cut in either Q2-24 or Q3-24.
