BoE raised rates 25bps to 0.5%, entirely as expected. Sterling is higher, with GBPUSD leaping above 1.36 in a sharp bullish leg up. Gilt yields also spiking higher. The FTSE 100 fell to a low of the day at 7,550 in what’s likely to be a sterling correlation move. The FTSE 250 also dipped to the LOD…but I have no sense that gradual normalisation of interest rate policy should really weigh on UK growth…more small repricing and machine-led move.

Key points from today’s BoE rate statement

• Bank rate +25bps to 0.5% – the first back-to-back rate hikes since 2004, with a unanimous decision to raise interest rates (though there were some calling for more).
• Passive QT begins as the MPC agreed to cease to reinvest any future maturities falling due from its stock of UK government bond purchases
• Inflation outlook raised to peak at 7.25% in April, from 6% in December…still a little shy of where it really goes?

What to make of it all? Well I’d say there is something in this for both the hawks and doves.

It’s the 4 voting for 50bps up against the timidity of the forward guidance that has left traders still guessing somewhat as to the Bank’s real intentions. Communication still a C-

Cable: more upside…bullish trend about to reassert itself with imminent MACD crossover?
