View Change: Credit Suisse: More front-loading of rate hikes to 3.00%

BOE
  • “We now expect the BoE to front-load rate hikes and bring forward our rate hike forecasts. We expect the BoE to hike rates by another 100bps from 1.75% to 2.75% by end-2022 (50bps in September, followed by 25bps in November and December), compared with 2.25% previously. We then expect one more 25bp hike such that rates reach 3.00% in Q1 2023, bringing an end to the hiking cycle sooner than previously expected (Q2 2023).”
  • “This meeting marks a change in the BoE’s stance to a more forceful reaction to inflationary pressures. This has opened the door to more outsized moves in the near term.”
  • “The BoE delivered an outsized hike at the same time as forecasting a recession, showing tolerance for recessionary risks... The BoE is thereby acknowledging that a recession is likely to be the price to pay to bring inflation under control.”
  • “The bar for the BoE to reverse hikes is high – the BoE will need to see conclusive evidence of inflation coming down significantly before reversing course (which in its forecasts happens only in Q4 2023).”
