On May 22, Nomura Securities predicted that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged until 2026 due to rising inflation and weakening support for policy easing from Federal Reserve officials, reducing the likelihood of a near-term rate cut. "Incoming Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh may still have the incentive to ease policy, but recent data and comments from Fed officials make us doubt his ability to convince a majority of the Federal Open Market Committee to support rate cuts," Nomura said in a report on May 21. The firm had previously projected 25-basis-point rate cuts in September and December of this year.According to the Financial Times, the French finance minister stated that countries cannot decide whether to release more oil reserves until they understand how long the conflict with Iran will last.According to the Financial Times, JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N) is seeking to reduce its $4 billion exposure to private equity-related loans.According to the Financial Times, the European film industry is urging EU regulators to review the deal between Warner Bros.

The EUR/GBP is fluctuating close to 0.8750 as focus shifts to UK inflation and BoE policy

The EUR/GBP pair is exhibiting a lackluster performance around 0.8750 during the Asian session. As investors prepare for the release of the Bank of England's (BOE) interest rate decision and the United Kingdom's Consumer Price Index (CPI) this week, the cross has moved sideways.

 

Despite the fact that the headline asserts that UBS has revitalized Credit Suisse, the cross appears to be weak. Credit Suisse shareholders will receive one share of UBS for every 22.48 Credit Suisse shares they own, valuing the bank at $3.15 billion (£2.6 billion), according to BBC News. The Swiss National Bank (SNB) stated that the agreement was the most effective means of restoring market confidence and mitigating economic risks. Additionally, the BoE endorsed the "comprehensive set of actions."

 

The consensus opinion on the street is that Governor Andrew Bailey of the Bank of England (BoE) will provide a pessimistic outlook for the interest rate decision amidst concerns of banking turmoil, which will be his top priority.

 

Rabobank analysts also anticipate a 25 basis point (bps) rate hike and caution that the market has not fully factored in this scenario. Andrew Bailey, governor of the Bank of England, would raise rates by 25 basis points to 4.25 percent.

 

Prior to that, the UK inflation data released on Wednesday will be attentively monitored. The annual headline CPI is expected to decline from 10.1% to 9.8%, according to projections. At 5.8%, the core CPI, which excludes the cost of fuels and food, would not change. It should be aware that persistent inflation in the United Kingdom is due to rising food prices and a labor shortage.

 

After the European Central Bank (ECB) raised interest rates by 50 basis points (bps) last week, Gediminas imkus, a member of the ECB Governing Council, stated on Friday that "the terminal rate has not yet been reached" For further deflation, extremely persistent inflation in the Eurozone requires higher interest rates.
