STIR: Still Less Than 60bp OF BoE Cuts Priced Through Year-End
STIR
GBP STIRs seemingly reacting to the overnight bid in Tsys as opposed to the downtick in Bunds, resulting in modest dovish moves.
- BoE-dated OIS flat to 2bp more dovish across ’25 meetings.
- 58.5bp cuts priced through year-end, with ~80% odds of a cut priced through May and ~26.5bp showing through June, sticking to multi-week ranges.
- We still look for a cut in May.
- SONIA futures flat to +2.5.
- We have entered the MPC’s quiet period ahead of next week’s monetary policy decision.
- An unchanged Bank Rate is almost universally expected here (pricing covering the event has tended to 0bp in recent weeks).
- Deputy Governor Ramsden’s speech on Friday 28 February (in which he sounded less dovish but not completely ruling out a sequential rate cut vote) and last week’s TSC hearing (in which Governor Bailey sounded no closer to voting for a sequential cut) have left the arithmetic pointing firmly in favour of a hold next week.
- Little of note on the UK calendar today.
