The 2-year gilt yield hit 4% now. BOE base rate needs to increase up to 4% minimum not to fall behind the curve. BOE rate will be at least 5% next year. According to Taylor’s rule, if BOE has a stronger will to tame inflation, the central bank rate needs to be above 2% above inflation.
Many businesses’ net income will be reduced. If they don’t have a high-interest cover ratio, there will be more defaults. Many households’ 2 year fix rate will end the mid-next year 2023. Many will see hike in borrowing costs.
