Bank of England Preview: How Will The Pound (GBP) React?

GBP/USD, BOE PRICE ANALYSIS & NEWS

  • BoE Expected to Hike 50bps
  • GBP/USD Gains At Risk Should BoE Pushback on Market Pricing

JOIN OUR LIVE COVERAGE OF THE BANK OF ENGLAND DECISION

SUMMARY: The main question heading into the Bank of England’s monetary policy meeting is whether the MPC sticks with a 25bps rate rise or adopts a more aggressive 50bps hike. As it stands, money markets are near enough fully priced in for a 50bps rate. This stands in comparison to economists polled, where the split is 70/30 in favour of a 50bps hike, which is also similar to how FinTwit responded to our poll. As a reminder, at the previous meeting, the BoE altered its guidance, stating that it would “act forcefully” in response to more persistent inflationary pressures. Therefore, signalling openness to a larger rate increase.

DATA: Inflation has continued its upward trajectory, as expected, with the headline rate rising 0.4ppts to 9.4% since the June meeting. However, while core inflation has since fallen 0.4ppts to 5.8%, the government and the BoE for now, remain laser-focused on headline inflation. Elsewhere, PMIs and GDP have been relatively resilient since the prior meeting, thus slightly reducing those growth concerns from the BoE’s perspective and further endorsing the view that the Bank will hike 50bps.

Vote Split: Alongside the decision itself, the vote split will be closely watched. A 9:0 vote in favour of a 50bps would be the most bullish outcome for the Pound, however, with little commentary from the most dovish member on the MPC, Silvana Tenreyro, it is hard to gauge whether the decision is unanimous. Therefore, there is a good chance the vote split would be 8-1. Anything less, for example, a 6-3 in favour of a 50bps, would ultimately be a negative for the Pound. Keep in mind, that this will be Michael Saunders's last meeting, who is the most hawkish on the MPC and will be replaced by a dovish member.

    • Hello everyone, At 03h30 UTC there was a bump on AUD/USD because of the Cash Rate data release. I was supposed to enjoy the ride thrue an API call, but my orders were rejected with the reason "ATTACHED_ORDER_LEVEL_ERROR". My working orders entries were 0.66112 and 0.66032. From the time i started to send the order until the rejection, the tick prices were: BID: 0.66042 | OFFER: 0.66102 <sending> BID: 0.66038 | OFFER: 0.66098 BID: 0.66040 | OFFER: 0.66100 <rejection> Can someone explain me how IG decides when to send this error ? I would like to anticipate it. Is it because the spread was at 6pips ?
