Soft GBP Data Provides Fresh Dovish Impulses

STIR

The weaker-than-expected run of UK monthly GDP and economic activity data provides fresh dovish impulses across the UK STIR space, with total BoE cuts through ’24 now marked at ~94bp, representing a fresh recent extreme.

  • More immediately, ~14bp of cuts are now priced through the end of the May MPC, with the first full 25bp cut more-than-fully discounted come the end of the June ’24 MPC.
  • SONIA futures show -0.25 to +6.0 through the blues, with the back of the reds and front of the greens outperfroming.
  • Conservative Party rifts continue to dominate local headline flow, while recent comments from Chancellor Hunt pointed to the “inevitably” of subdued growth while interest rates bring down inflation.
