- We await Wednesday's CPI data before the final call on March vs April can be made.
- In short, the morning's data had a clear dovish skew, as the unemployment rate continues to tick up (though the BoE does forecast this) and the wage metrics both moderated from the prior rate, with the incl. bonus figure markedly cooler.
BoE Pricing
- Mar -20.8bps (prev.-20.3bp)
- April -27.4bps (prev. -26.3bps)
- Jun -38bps (prev. -35.6bps)
- Nov -51bps
- Dec -50bps (prev. -50.6bps)
With unemployment rising and wage growth moderating, the data reinforces expectations of a more accommodative stance from the BoE, which could influence GBP and bond markets ahead of the upcoming CPI release.
