SONIA Prices Just Over 40bp Of '24 Cuts Ahead Of BoE, Bank Reaction To Services CPI Eyed
STIR
GBP STIR markets are little changed ahead of today’s BoE decision.
- BoE-dated OIS shows ~41.5bp of cuts through year end.
- The first 25bp move is not fully discounted until the end of the Nov meeting, with just under 70% odds of a cut through the end of the Sep MPC currently showing.
- SONIA futures are flat to -1.0 through the blues.
- We believe that yesterday’s CPI data cements an unchanged 7-2 vote at today’s MPC decision, with rates set to be left unchanged.
- Yesterday’s services CPI reading will present the major point of worry for the MPC, after it topped BoE and wider sell-side expectations.
- We don’t think the data will provide a meaningful change to the BoE’s guidance/ overarching view, but that outcome cannot be completely ruled out.
