RUSSIA'S DEPUTY PM NOVAK: RUSSIA TO IMPLEMENT VOLUNTARY CUT IN OIL PRODUCTION OF 500,000 BPD TILL THE END OF 2023

[PiQ @PiQMarkets]

🇬🇧 Bank of America on Bank of England:

🔹 The Bank of England (BoE) hiked 25bp to 4.25%, as expected.

🔹 We expect no further rate hikes and see no cuts until 2024.

🔹 But the minutes of the BoE's policy raise upside risks to our terminal rate call of 4.25%.

🔹 They left enough optionality to hike again but we stick to our call of no more hikes.

🔹 Our forecast is sensitive to the data flow, especially the next inflation reading and any impact on credit conditions from recent banking sector turmoil.

[PiQ @PiQMarkets]

🏦 JPM || Central bank tightening cycles likely to be extended

🇬🇧 BoE hiking cycle is being extended due to resilient growth

🇪🇺 Elevated inflation has prompted us to add another 25bp to our ECB call (now totalling 100bp)

🇺🇸 Risk is clearly skewed toward greater action from Fed
