On December 19th, Jinshi data reported that Goldman Sachs stated that since the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting of the Central Bank of the UK in November last year, the inflation data for the service industry has been slightly stronger than the MPC's prediction, while the latest wage rise data is significantly stronger than expected. However, the economic rise is lower than the MPC's expectations, and survey data shows a significant deterioration in recruitment willingness. Given the mixed performance of the data, we continue to expect that the Monetary Policy Committee of the Central Bank of the UK will maintain the Interest Rate at 4.75% with a vote of 8 to 1 at Thursday's meeting, and reiterate that the bank believes that taking gradual policy easing measures based on evolving evidence is appropriate.

Analysis by Berenberg suggests that the market's confidence in the UK Central Bank maintaining a 5% interest rate may be somewhat excessive. While a rate cut is not the base case forecast, the bank expects three MPC members to vote in favor of a rate cut. Additionally, the UK Central Bank may take a more cautious approach to maintain overall portfolio stability. However, there may be risks in accelerating the pace of quantitative tightening.

(1) According to a report by the Financial Times (FT) on Thursday, Megan Greene, a member of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Bank of England, said that the market currently expects the Bank of England to cut interest rates earlier than the Fed this year, and the rate cut will be greater than that of the Fed, and she believes that it would be better for the UK to start easing policy later. (2) Green wrote in an opinion piece published in the newspaper: "After US CPI inflation was unexpectedly strong in March, the market is now expecting the Bank of England to cut interest rates earlier this year than the Fed, and by a larger margin." ” (3) In an article titled "Markets Must Stop Comparing the UK and the US", Green writes that persistent inflation poses a greater threat to the UK than to the US. (4) She said: "In my opinion, the UK should be some time away from cutting interest rates. ” (5) Money markets are pricing in a 56 basis point rate cut by the Bank of England this year, with a 52% chance of a first rate cut in June, according to the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG). This exceeded investors' expectations for a 44 basis point rate cut in the US, with the Fed's first rate cut expected in September. (6) Green said that the difference in labor supply between the two countries is also very obvious, and the inflation rate of the service sector in the United Kingdom is still much higher than that of the United States. "The overall participation rate in the UK labour market has not yet returned to pre-pandemic trends. In the U.S., participation rates are surpassing pre-pandemic trends. ” (7) The increase in inflation expectations has translated into higher wage growth, which by some measures is currently between 6-7% in the UK and 4-5.5% in the US.
