Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
State Street expects a Bank of England November hike and a February 2027 follow-up as UK CPI rose to 3.5%, with core at 2.8% and services at 3.7%. US housing is deteriorating: pending home sales fell a record 7.3% m/m and the NAHB index hit 29, its lowest since June 2012. Japan's CPI rose 2.148% y/y with broadening pass-through; the BoJ is seen holding hawkishly and hiking remains possible in December. The Fed is expected to hold in October.

Key arguments
- UK CPI at 3.5% with core at 2.8% and services at 3.7% crosses the BoE's apparent 4%-related second-round threshold, justifying insurance hikes in November and February 2027.
- US housing weakness is broadening: record-low pending sales and a 29 NAHB reading despite solid consumer spending and AI capex.
- Japan's inflation breadth, not the headline alone, is the concern; food pass-through exceeds 8,000 products and sushi prices rose 15.5% y/y even as rice fell 20.6%.
- A hawkish BoJ hold is expected, with December a genuine hike risk but a rapid hiking sequence unlikely given softening consumption.
Key numbers

- 3.5%
- US pending home sales (Sep, m/m)

- NAHB housing index (Oct)

- Japan CPI (Sep, y/y)

- 30-year conforming mortgage rate (mid-Oct)

Main risks
- UK second-round wage-price effects have yet to appear, so the hikes are insurance against a spiral that may not materialize.
- Japan's winter inflation could approach 3% or above just as consumption and growth weaken, tempting markets to extrapolate too far.
- Housing weakness could deepen if the Fed's mini-tightening and mortgage rates keep rising; only temporary relief is expected.
