Economists at HSBC have a more dovish perspective than markets regarding the Bank of England (BoE) tightening path. Subsequently, the GBP/USD pair is set to edge lower in the coming period.
“We expect the GBP to weaken against the USD in the coming weeks, with the BoE likely to maintain a gradually tightening path amid elevated economic uncertainty.”
“We expect a 25bp hike at the 16 June BoE meeting, with only one more hike thereafter in August, which would take the policy rate to 1.50% before a lengthy pause. By contrast, the market is priced for the tightening cycle to continue into 2023, with the policy rate rising close to 2.50%, and it is already priced for almost a 1-in-3 chance of a 50bp hike in June.”
“UK-EU relations and questions over the UK’s fiscal response to the real income squeeze should also be pertinent to the GBP over the near-term.”
