GBP took a hit this morning after the release of UK CPI inflation data for September. Data showed headline price growth in the United Kingdom accelerating from 9.9 to 10.1% YoY (exp. 10.0% YoY). While the beat was small, it still means that the current inflation rate in the UK matched a 40-year high reached in July. Core gauge also ticked higher and moved from 6.3 to 6.5% YoY (exp. 6.4% YoY). Such an outcome further strengthens the case for a big BoE rate hike at its next meeting (November 3, 2022). Currently, the market almost fully prices in a 100 basis point rate hike.
Traders will be offered one more interesting inflation reading today - Canadian CPI for September at 1:30 pm BST. In this case a deceleration is expected with headline gauge seen dropping from 7.0 to 6.8% YoY. Market prices in a 60 bp of tightening for BoC meeting on October 26, 2022. A higher-than-expected inflation rating, combined with BoC tendency to follow Fed, would boost odds for a 75 bp rate move.
