STIR: Over 50bp Of Cuts Priced Through Year End As BoE Week Gets Underway
STIR
SONIA futures flat to +3.5, with core global FI markets underpinned early today.
- BoE-dated OIS little changed to ~2.5bp more dovish through June ’25, showing 5bp of cuts for this week’s MPC, ~34bp of cuts through November and ~52bp of easing through year-end.
- Feedthrough from Fed pricing swings continue to dominate the GBP short end, although this week’s tier 1 UK risk events will see local drivers reassert themselves, with the latest BoE decision (Thursday) and CPI data (Wednesday) due.
- Late on Friday J.P.Morgan recommended paying the belly of the Mar25/May25/Jun25 MPC OIS fly. Alternatively, they also noted that May ‘25/Jun ‘25 MPC OIS flatteners “look attractive.”
- J.P.Morgan “acknowledge the market prices an additional easing ‘premia’ for the BoE’s quarterly forecast meetings, but think this looks excessive for May ‘25.
