Economists at MUFG Bank analyze Pound’s outlook. BoE shifts a little more toward a first rate cut BoE left policy rate on hold for fifth consecutive meeting at 5.25%. The overall message from the statement suggests as before – that returning inflation to target is proceeding but the point of being in a position to ease the monetary stance has not arrived.
The vote did highlight progress with an 8-1 vote as both Jonathan Haskel and Catherine Mann dropped their votes to hike. That alone justifies some increased probability of an earlier than we expect rate cut in June although whether the BoE ultimately moves in June or August remains a close call. We maintain our view of 100 bps of cuts this year.
