BOE: Sellside analyst views for the rest of the year
Feb-05 16:01
- All the sellside previews that we read look for a 25bp cut this week.
- After February, the majority of analysts (18/21) look for the next cut to be in May. Deutsche Bank expect a longer pause to August while both Morgan Stanley and TD Securities both look for a March cut (while noting heightened risks of a delay).
- In terms of 2025 outlook, over 60% of analysts (13/21) expect 100bp of cuts across the year to 3.75%. Only NatWest Markets (4.00%) looks for fewer cuts (despite this being the closest forecast to market pricing). Most remaining analysts (6/21) are equally split between 3.50% and 3.25% (i.e. considerably larger number of cuts than markets price).
- In terms of terminal rate, the majority of analysts 17/21 (81%) have their base case in a 3.00-3.75% range, almost evenly split. Other than NatWest Markets (4.00%) other outliers are to the downside. The mean terminal rate is 3.27%.
