Sellside views of the first cut

BOE
3/22 analyst reviews we have read still look for a first cut in May (Deutsche, Morgan Stanley, TD Securities) although all point to risks of a later cut. 10/22 look for June (from 7/22), 9/22 for August (from 10/22) and no one now looks for September (pre-meeting 2/22).
View changes:
  • CIBC: First cut now Jun24 (rather than Aug24). Continue to look for 25bp cuts in Aug24 and Nov24 (to 4.50% end-2024, rather than 4.75%).
  • Daiwa: First cut Jun24 (rather than Aug24). Now look for one cut in each of Q2/3 (rather than 2 cuts in Q3). From Q4-24 look for 25bp per meeting to 2.50% in 2025.
  • HSBC: First cut now Jun24 (rather than Aug24). Continue to look for 25bp cuts in Aug24 and Nov24 (to 4.50% end-2024, rather than 4.75%). Continue to see quarterly 25bp cuts through 2025 to 3.50% (rather than 3.75%).
  • Rabobank: Now look for first cut in Aug24 (rather than Sep24) with further cuts in Sep24 and Nov24 to 4.50% end-2024 (unchanged). Look for 100bp of cuts in 2025 (rather than 125bp) to 3.50%.
  • UniCredit: Expect first cut in Aug24 (rather than Sep24) and continue to expect 75bp of cuts in 2024 to 4.50%.
