EUR/GBP: Relative rates seen as a positive from here – Danske Bank
|The Bank of England (BoE) hiked the policy rate by 25 bps, bringing the Bank Rate to 5.25%. Economists at Danske Bank stay negative on GBP with BoE nearing peak.
Negative GBP stance
The BoE hiked the Bank Rate (key policy rate) by 25 bps to 5.25% with 6 members voting for a 25 bps hike, two members for 50 bps and one member voting for keeping the Bank Rate unchanged.
We stick to our call of a final 25 bps hike in September marking a peak in the Bank Rate of 5.50%. Wage growth and service inflation remain the key releases to follow.
We continue to see relative rates as a positive for EUR/GBP from here, which is one of several reasons behind our fundamental predisposition to buying EUR/GBP dips.
