BOE AND FED TO KEEP GOING THEIR SEPARATE WAYS
The Federal Reserve and Bank of England's divergent moves this week - a 50 basis point cut and a hawkish hold - are having ripple effects and causing markets to price divergence further out.
Deutsche Bank's Friday 'Chart of the Week' looks at pricing for the second half of 2025 for each central bank, and point out expectations have been moving in completely opposite directions, a rare occurrence.
Basically, they say, the market thinks cutting more now will leave the Fed with less to do in a year's time, and vice-versa for the BoE.
Here's Deutsche's chart:
