"Neither Does It Seem To Be The Last": Bank Of England Hikes For First Time Since 2023, Sees Inflation Near 5%
For the first time in 1,190 days, the Bank of England has raised interest rates.On Thursday the BoE's Monetary Policy Committee voted 8-1 to lift Bank Rate by 25bps to 4.00%, the first hike since August 3, 2023, when the BoE topped out at 5.25%. And the lone dissenter was no dove: external member Catherine Mann wanted a half-point move to 4.25%. Put differently, not a single one of the nine MPC members voted to keep rates on hold, which is a little more hawkish than consensus: Goldman and JPMorgan both expected a 7-2 vote (Goldman's STIR desk had Swati Dhingra and Alan Taylor as the holdouts), while Deutsche Bank's UK economists were looking for a 6-3 split.Even the doves came along, if grudgingly.

Futures Split As Blue-Wave Chip Purge Enters Day Two; Oil Rebounds, BoE Hikes
US futures are mixed, with the Nasdaq lagging as the post-midterm rotation out of chipmakers and the AI complex enters a second day, after the Democratic sweep raised fears of a data center backlash, Qualcomm tumbled on a weak forecast and the Kospi crashed almost 6%, while oil rebounded modestly from Wednesday's plunge and the BoE hiked rates for the first time in three years; as a result the 10Y yield touched 4.83%, the lowest since Sept. 10. As of 6:20am ET, S&P futures are 0.1% higher while Nasdaq futures are down 0.5%, Russell 2000 futures add 0.4% and Dow futures are 0.7%; this follows Wednesday's session when the S&P jumped 1.6% for its best day since August and the Dow soared 3%. In premarket trading, semis are again getting hit (the SOXX ETF was down 2% premarket per Bloomberg) with Qualcomm sliding 10% after a lackluster forecast, continuing the hyperscalers vs semis split we flagged yesterday, wh...

|
|

"I'm not going to sign up to the two-and-done point," Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey says when asked if a second interest-rate increase is on the cards following Thursday's decision to hike. "Absent a resolution of the conflict in the Middle East, and I think I put this in my commentary in the minutes, I could see the case for a further 25 [basis points]," Bailey says at a news conference in London.
