I posted earlier previews of the BoE at these links:
- Preview of the Bank of England Super Thursday!
- Bank of England meet - preview
- Bank of England MPC this week - preview
This now (in summary) from BNP:
- A weaker global backdrop and prolonged Brexit uncertainty is likely to see the MPC revise down its forecasts for growth and inflation
- We expect the committee's rhetoric to continue to reflect the dovish shift evident in the minutes of the December meeting.
- Nonetheless, the market has already moved a fair way to price out the prospect of rate hikes. Even though we see Brexit uncertainty lingering for a while longer, we think the MPC will still hike rates at least once in 2019.
