BoE Preview 14/12/17

  • As in the aftermath of the last rate hike – or more appropriately, reversal – the MPC will stay on hold.
  • They will also likely maintain their forecast for 2 more hikes over the 3 year forecast horizon, which on balance, was a touch less hawkish than the market anticipated.
  • Uncertainty over Brexit will add to their wait and see approach from here, with focus on a transitional period likely to be highlighted again.
  • Recent data run positive, but spending data this morning is a volatile series and the inflation pick up seen Tuesday was already in BoE projections where they see headline CPI topping out at 3.2%.
