HEM: Tighter For Longer

  • Excess demand decays slowly through flat activity
  • Underlying inflation is not breaking back to target
  • BoE hikes in May and June may be followed in August
  • The ECB’s problem is less bad, but it has further to go
  • Persistence of past policy will discourage future cuts

HEM: Unbroken Excesses

  • Bank failures haven’t ended resilient excess demand
  • Underlying inflation remains excessive
  • We expect another BoE 25bps rate hike in May
  • The ECB probably has at least another two hikes left
  • Rate cuts can wait until policy success is clear in 2024
