Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
MUFG expects the BoE to deliver 25bp hikes in November and February, taking Bank Rate to 4.25%, after hawkish MPC comments and PMI price pressures. UK fiscal headroom has likely shrunk by about £15bn, leaving under £10bn before energy support decisions. In the euro area, MUFG's out-of-consensus call is a back-to-back ECB hike in October, with September headline HICP seen at 3.7% and core at 2.6%.

Key arguments
- Rising PMI price components and higher energy costs make the BoE's hold stance harder to maintain, with November hike groundwork laid by Bailey, Lombardelli and Breeden.
- MUFG targets 4.25% terminal Bank Rate, about 75bp above its ~3.5% neutral estimate, versus market pricing near 4.75%.
- UK fiscal headroom has likely deteriorated by around £15bn, leaving under £10bn before policy decisions; credible deficit improvement matters more than headroom size.
- Euro area September HICP is seen at 3.7% and core at 2.6%, supporting an out-of-consensus ECB October hike call.
Key numbers
- Bank Rate terminal rate (MUFG)
- 4.25%
- Market-implied Bank Rate (approx.)
- 4.75%
- UK fiscal headroom deterioration
- ~£15bn
- Euro area headline HICP (Sep, MUFG)
- 3.7%
- Euro area core HICP (Sep, MUFG)
- 2.6%
Main risks
- Market pricing near 4.75% may embed significant term premia; MUFG's 4.25% terminal call could be too low if energy prices persist.
- Reduced fiscal headroom or a weak Autumn Budget could trigger limited market tolerance and higher gilt yields.
- The ECB October hike call is out-of-consensus and depends on domestic price pressures broadening, which has not been evident yet.

· this weekThe UK economy still shows signs of slack and wage growth looks broadly compatible with the inflation target.
We pencil in a roughly £15bn deterioration in fiscal headroom, pointing to more hard choices ahead.
