STIR

SONIA futures are just off lows, last +1.0 to -0.5. Bunds have also stabilised away from yesterday’s lows.

  • BoE-dated OIS is little changed vs. late Wednesday levels, showing 29.5bp of cuts through year end and ~50/50 odds of a cut come the end of the Sep MPC.
  • Local headline flow has seen PM Sunak suggest that a vote for the Conservatives is a vote for interest rate cuts.
  • Expect political matters to dominate UK headlines up until (and after) the July 4 election.
  • The UK calendar is essentially empty today, which will leave focus on headline flow and cross-market matters.
