Unchanged BoE Rate Steepens BoE Pricing, 20bp Of Further Rightening Now Seen

STIR

BoE-dated OIS comes in as the Bank leaves policy rate unchanged, with a steepening impulse as the market removes pre-decision pricing of a hike for today (which was the slightly favoured outcome pre-decision).

  • Liquid contracts now show -11bp to +4bp on the day. Twist steepening.
  • Terminal policy rate pricing indicates ~20bp of cumulative hikes from here vs. just over 25bp pre-decision, still pricing a roughly 4 in 5 chance of another hike despite today’s hold.
  • Ahead of the decision we suggested that no hike with unchanged guidance would result in a more meagre 10bp of tightening being reflected in terminal rate pricing.
  • The narrow 5-4 vote split will have prevented this adjustment from taking place, along with some the comments from the Bank. The combination of the two points to a ‘hawkish hold.’
