Markets Price in Steep UK Interest Rate Rises

0822 GMT - Markets are pricing in a steep pace of interest rate rises in the U.K., which could intensify further after Wednesday's inflation data, says Deutsche Bank. "Markets are now pricing in a move in the bank rate up to around 0.45% by the December meeting ... and up to around 0.95% by the June meeting," analysts at the bank say. They add there are around 15-30 basis points more priced in across the next several meetings from Friday's close. Tomorrow's consumer price index data "will likely be the calm before the storm given favourable base effects and with other pipeline inflation items yet to feed into the data," they say.

Market Talk: 

Bellway Is In Good Shape, But Hurdles Loom

0815 GMT - Shares in Bellway rise 3% after the U.K. house-builder reported higher full-year profit. Trading firm eToro says the company is in good shape, with strong demand helping to boost profit, revenue, margins and cash. "However, one of the key drivers of market demand of the past year--the government's stamp-duty holiday--has now ended, which may have a knock-on effect for transaction numbers in the medium-term," eToro analyst Adam Vettese says. "While that hasn't happened yet, we're seeing supply and labor shortages lead to slower production and rising costs for housebuilders. For now, those added costs are being absorbed by rising house prices, but prolonged shortages and an extended period of lower demand could eventually act as a drag." (philip.waller@wsj.com)
