STIR: Just Over 60bp Of BoE Cuts Priced Through '25
GBP STIRs little changed to start the week, with the marginal marks lower in the final UK GDP data limiting spill over from the downtick in wider core global FI markets.
- SONIA futures little changed across the strip as a result.
- BoE-dated OIS showing ~61bp of cuts through ’25, next cut more than 80% discounted through March and more than fully discounted through May.
- Little of note on the UK calendar for the remainder of the week, which will leave focus on macro headline flow.
- A reminder that the Christmas holiday period will result in adjusted trading hours, as well as depleted liquidity and volume.

A sell-off in the S&P E-Minis contract on Dec 18 highlights a short-term top and a corrective cycle. The move down resulted in a breach of the 20- and 50-day EMAs. A resumption of weakness would open 5811.65, 38.2% of the Aug 5 - Dec 6 bull leg. Support at 5921.00, Nov 19 low, has been pierced. A clear break of it would strengthen a bearish threat. Initial resistance is 6067.90, the 20-day EMA. A clear break of it would be a bullish development.

Initial firm resistance to watch is 0.6382, the 20-day EMA.
