BOE decision: Thursday, 12:00, press conference at 12:30. This is a more important rate decision by the Bank of England and it has been dubbed “Super Thursday.” The Bank not only publishes its rate decision and the meeting minutes from the event but also makes public its Quarterly Inflation Report (QIR) with an accompanying press conference by Governor Mark Carney and some of his colleagues. The BOE is set to leave its policy unchanged: the interest rate at 0.75% (raised to this level in August) and the QE program at 435 billion pounds. The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) voted unanimously to maintain this policy in the previous meeting and the same voting pattern will probably be repeated. Any change in this will likely trigger an immediate reaction. The QIR includes new inflation and growth projections, known as “fan charts.” Given the uncertainty surrounding Brexit negotiations, forecasts could go anywhere. Recent data was mixed with inflation slowing down to 2.4% while wages advanced to 2.7% y/y. Retail sales fell short of expectations. Governor Carney will likely be asked many questions about Brexit but he will probably dodge political ones. The BOE plans to raise interest rates very gradually, with a maximum of two hikes in 2019 now on the cards, one being more likely. A hard Brexit could result in a rate cut, but the BOE’s base case scenario is for a smooth transition.

ISM Manufacturing PMI: Thursday, 14:00. The manufacturing sector continues enjoying robust growth according to this forward-looking survey. The score of 59.8 points beat expectations back in September. The topline number serves as a last-moment hint for the Fed while the Prices component is a measure of inflation expectations eyed by the Fed. The component dropped to 66.9 points in September, off the highs but still at a substantial clip. We will now get fresh figures for October. A small rise slide to 59 points is projected for October.
