There is now a 63% probability of a 0.75% hike and the remaining 37% are in favor of a 1% hike – no longer 0.5%. that is the cause of market the market turmoil.
The PPI today at 14:30 will be closely watched for a confirmation that the measures so far cannot control inflation. Ex Food and energy s expected at 7.1% and the PPI Final demand at 8.8%.
UK Cpi came just below 10% versus an expectation of just above.
