Sell-Side Still Favours Hike, Albeit With Less Conviction, Markets Do The Same & Trim Terminal

STIR

BoE-dated OIS has stabilised off of post-CPI dovish extremes, although dovish post-data adjustments remain evident, with the liquid contracts sitting 7-14bp softer as the strip flattens.

  • 14bp of tightening is showing for tomorrow’s MPC (56% of tightening is priced), while terminal policy rate pricing hovers around the 5.50% mark as participants now look for a ‘one and done’ move from the Bank post-CPI.
  • The sell-side notes that we have seen still point to a hike tomorrow, although with far less conviction in the wake of today’s softer than expected inflation readings.
