We expect the BoE to intervene in some way this week. If the bank announces an emergency rate rise to shore up Sterling, GBP/EUR could regain some ground. Such a reading would likely boost European Central Bank (ECB) rate rise bets, thereby supporting the single currency. You can see the expectations rising literally by the minute… Investors are now better on UK interest rates topping 6 per cent by the first half of next year.

At the same time, UK debt will rise significantly following the chancellor’s min-Budget. “We have responded in the immediate term with expansionary fiscal stance on energy because we had to. With two exogenous shocks - Covid-19 and Ukraine - we had to intervene. Two veteran financiers said the chancellor’s offhand tone also appeared to ignore the seriousness of loading Britain up with debt. As flagged earlier, the meeting was meant to be a polite conversation about Kwarteng’s plans to unleash growth. “I’m confident that with our growth plan and the upcoming medium-term fiscal plan - with close co-operation with the Bank - our approach will work.” “I’m confident that with our growth plan and the upcoming medium-term fiscal plan — with close co-operation with the Bank — our approach will work.”

Thursday's meeting may thus be a reminder that the CNB is still present in the market and is not going to change anything, which may lead some to close short positions. On the data side, the highlight of the week in the eurozone is the CPI report on Friday, which is expected to have accelerated to 9.7%. Based on current market expectations, it should not be a problem for the NBH to maintain hawkish expectations and Tuesday's meeting could add support. Then on Friday, we end the week in Poland with the release of September inflation. We have seen signs of attempts to steer the hiking cycle towards the end in recent statements from central bankers but still, the NBH remains the most open central bank to rate hikes in the region. In our view, the current situation of lower-than-expected inflation and a stable koruna make the board's decision-making easier, and we cannot expect too many surprises this week. In FX, we simply think the euro is facing bigger challenges given the energy crisis and geopolitical uncertainty: we may need to see an escalation in EU-Italy confrontation before a political risk premium is embedded into the euro. We think that the BoE is too psychologically scarred from the events of 1992 to try defensive FX-related rate hikes – e.g. Even if the other drivers of dollar bullishness start to lose some power (not very likely, anyway, as discussed above), expect the dollar to stay very well supported until we see some stabilisation in the gilts market and the pound. On the data side, there aren’t too many market-moving data releases to highlight in the US this week. Here, the latest developments in the Russia-Ukraine conflict are likely preventing markets from turning more optimistic for now, and activity surveys have continued to point at a grim outlook for the eurozone. Another week of large dollar gains forces us to re-address the question of whether the greenback is close to its peak.
