[BOE] September Rate Decision: Rates Remain Unchanged, Gradual Policy Easing Expected

Central Bank

Remarks of Officials

Summary:

On Thursday, the Bank of England (BOE) left its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 5.00%, in line with market expectations. The Monetary Policy Committee voted 8-1 in favor of the decision, a result that contrasts with Wednesday's 0.5 percentage point rate cut in the United States.

On September 19, the BOE voted 8-1 to leave interest rates unchanged at 5%, the Monetary Policy Summary showed:

In the first half of 2024, the economic growth rate appeared somewhat sluggish, with a GDP growth rate of 0.7% in the first quarter and 0.6% in the second quarter. There had been little news from most indicators of consumer spending, although housing market data had strengthened somewhat. Overall demand and supply had remained roughly balanced in recent quarters. Headline GDP growth is expected to return to its underlying pace of around 0.3% per quarter in the second half of the year, slightly below the 0.4% noted in the August report.

The labor market continued to loosen but it remained tight by historical standards. The underlying unemployment rate increased steadily over recent quarters. As demand for labor weakened, job vacancies continued to gradually decline, though at a slower pace than in 2023 and they had remained above pre-pandemic levels.

In August, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation rate stood at 2.2%, with projections suggesting it could rise to approximately 2.5% by the end of the year. Inflation in the services sector remained elevated at 5.6%, up from 5.2% in July. The cost pressures stemming from previous global disruptions had eased, leading to persistently subdued inflation rates for core consumer goods and food prices, while energy costs continued to weigh down CPI inflation. Over the three months leading up to July, the average weekly earnings growth rate in the private sector fell to 4.9%. Household inflation expectations had largely normalized, aligning more closely with historical averages. However, corporate inflation expectations were still hovering at slightly elevated levels.

Monetary policy will need to continue to remain restrictive for sufficiently long until the risks to inflation returning sustainably to the 2% target in the medium term have dissipated further. The Committee continues to monitor closely the risks of inflation persistence and will decide the appropriate degree of monetary policy restrictiveness at each meeting.

The EUR/JPY cross ticks lower after the Bank of Japan (BoJ) announced its policy decision this Friday and moves away from over a two-week high, around the 160.00 psychological mark touched the previous day. Spot prices drop closer to mid-158.00s in the last hour, though remain confined in the previous day's broader range.

As was widely anticipated, the Japanese central bank maintained the short-term interest rate target in the range of 0.15%-0.25% at the end of a two-day monetary policy review meeting. In the accompanying policy statement, the BoJ noted that Japan's economy will achieve growth above potential and that inflation is likely to be at a level generally consistent with the price target. This, however, fails to provide any meaningful impetus to the Japanese Yen (JPY), though hawkish BoJ expectations continue to act as a headwind for the EUR/JPY cross.

In fact, the recent comments by a slew of BoJ officials suggested that the Japanese central bank will hike interest rates again by the end of this year. The bets were reaffirmed by the latest consumer inflation figures released earlier this Friday, which showed that Japan's headline CPI rose from 2.8% in the prior month to the 3% YoY rate in August, hitting a 10-month high. Adding to this, the Core CPI, which excludes volatile fresh food prices, edged higher to 2.8%, or a 10-month high amid a sustained pick-up in consumption on the back of higher wages.

In contrast, the European Central Bank (ECB) last week indicated a declining path for borrowing costs in the months ahead after cutting interest rates for the second time this cycle. However, reports that the ECB policymakers see an interest rate cut in October as unlikely, barring a major deterioration in the outlook for growth, along with a bearish US Dollar (USD), lends some support to the shared currency. This, in turn, should limit losses for the EUR/JPY cross, which remains on track to register weekly gains for the first time in the previous three.

Japan's core inflation accelerates for 4th straight month in August

Data released on Friday shows that Japan's core consumer inflation rate rose for the fourth consecutive month in August, continuing to stay above the 2% target set by the central bank, keeping market expectations of further rate hikes alive.

Excluding volatile fresh food prices, the core CPI rose by 2.8% year-on-year in August, in line with market expectations and higher than a 2.7% rise in July. Excluding fresh food and fuel prices, the CPI increased by 2.0% from a year earlier, up from July's 1.9%. The Bank of Japan (BOJ) views this indicator as a better reflection of demand-driven inflation.

Although the yen has strengthened significantly in recent weeks, it will take at least six months for lower input costs to be passed on to consumer prices. Therefore, the core inflation rate has to remain around 2% in the coming months to prompt the Bank of Japan to raise rates again at its October meeting.

Israel unleashes heavy strikes on Lebanon as U.S., UK urge restraint

According to Lebanon's National News Agency, more than 52 bombings were reported in southern Lebanon after 9 p.m. local time. Three Lebanese security sources said this was the most intense airstrike since the October conflict began, escalating tensions between Israel and Lebanon's Hezbollah. Meanwhile, the U.S. and UK have called for restraint on both sides.

The White House stated that a diplomatic solution is possible and urgent, while the UK urged an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah. White House Press Secretary Jean-Pierre expressed concerns over the potential escalation of the situation during a briefing.

Israel's Defense Minister said that Israel would continue its military actions against Hezbollah, adding that "Hezbollah will pay a greater price over time."

The UN Security Council is set to meet on Friday to discuss the attacks. Lebanon's Prime Minister Najib Mikati called on the Security Council to take a firm stand to stop Israel's "aggression" and "technological warfare."

BOJ expected to maintain stable policies but hint at future rate hikes

In a two-day policy meeting that ends Friday, the Bank of Japan is widely expected to keep short-term rates unchanged at 0.25% and maintain its view that the economy will continue its moderate recovery as wage growth supports consumption. And it will likely hint that strong wage growth and consumption could allow the Bank to raise rates again in the coming months.

This policy divergence could further disrupt markets, as the expectation of a shrinking U.S.-Japan interest rate differential has already boosted the yen significantly from its near 30-year low of 161.99 in July to around 143 per U.S. dollar.

The Bank of Japan may prefer to wait and observe market trends, as it just raised rates in July. Moreover, it can then assess the impact of future political events, such as the Federal Reserve's rate cuts, the U.S. presidential election, and the election of the Liberal Democratic Party leader in Japan.

A Gaza ceasefire deal is unlikely in Biden's term

According to the Wall Street Journal, senior U.S. officials have indicated that they do not see a ceasefire and hostage release deal between Israel and Hamas before President Biden's term ends in January 2025. The White House previously said that the parties involved had reached consensus on "90%" of the agreement, leaving room for a breakthrough.

However, some high-level officials in the White House, State Department, and Pentagon believe that the parties will not agree to the current framework. "No deal is imminent," a U.S. official said. "I'm not sure whether it will even be finalized."

Officials pointed to two main reasons for this pessimism. The recent telecommunications explosion in Lebanon—followed by Israeli airstrikes—has significantly raised the possibility of a broader conflict, complicating diplomacy with Hamas. Additionally, U.S. officials have been frustrated by Hamas's refusal to agree to terms after the U.S. and Israel accepted their demands.

BOE keeps rates unchanged and sees gradual policy easing

On Thursday, the Bank of England (BOE) kept its key interest rate at 5.00%, in line with market expectations. The Monetary Policy Committee voted 8-1 in favor of the decision, which stands in sharp contrast to the U.S. Federal Reserve's 0.5% rate cut on Wednesday. The Bank of England stated that with high inflation in the services sector, a gradual easing of monetary policy will be appropriate. The BOE expects inflation to rise to 2.5% by the end of the year, compared to a 2.75% estimate in August. It reiterated that tight monetary policy needs to remain for a sufficient period until inflation risks subside.

U.S. initial jobless claims drop to lowest since May

Data released by the U.S. Department of Labor on Thursday showed that initial jobless claims for the week ending September 14 fell to 219,000, lower than the previous reading and the expected 230,000. Initial claims have dropped to their lowest level since May, indicating that the job market remains healthy despite slower hiring. Additionally, continuing claims for the week ending September 7 fell to 1.829 million, marking a three-month low. The Federal Reserve is increasingly confident that strong labor market momentum can be sustained while adjusting policy rates, reinforcing the Fed's expectations of a soft landing for the U.S. economy.

U.S. existing home sales fall more than expected in August

U.S. existing home sales in August were at an annualized rate of 3.86 million units, lower than the expected 3.90 million units and the revised figure of 3.96 million units in July. The data indicates that despite improved supply, home prices remain high. The drop in sales was larger than expected. With rate cuts, however, mortgage rates could continue to decline. Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist at the National Association of Realtors, stated that August's disappointing home sales were mitigated by recent declines in mortgage rates and increased inventory, creating a favorable environment for sales growth over the next few months.

Macro:

The US Jobless Claims data for the week coinciding with the usual BLS survey window fell to 219k from the prior 231k, beneath the expected 230k. The 4wk average fell to 227.5k from 231k. Continued claims for the preceding week, fell to 1.829mln from 1.843mln (revised down from 1.85mln), and beneath the expected 1.854mln.

The Bank of England kept rates unchanged at 5% with an 8-1 vote split and continued to emphasize a gradual approach to policy easing. The MPC also voted unanimously to reduce the stock of Gilts by GBP 100bln between October 2024 and September 2025 (as expected). Overall, the tone of the policy statement was one of caution with the MPC very much in data-dependent mode. This prompted a hawkish repricing for the rest of the year with just a 64% chance of a cut seen in November (vs. 100% pre-release) and a total of 40bps of easing seen by year-end (vs. 52bps pre-release).

The Norges Bank, Norway's central bank, kept the policy rate unchanged at 4.5% as expected and said the rate would likely remain at 4.5% through year end. This reaffirmed market’s view that Norges Bank will not be quick to join the G10 rate cutting cycle.

Japan’s August CPI was higher than previous month as expected. Headline inflation rose to 3.0% YoY from 2.8% previously while core measure rose to 2.8% from 2.7% in July. The core-core measure (ex-fresh food and energy) also rose to the 2% target from 1.9% in July, suggesting that the Bank of Japan may feel confident to signal further normalization at the meeting today. However, political considerations may play a part as well given the LDP elections next week.

Earnings: Tamboran

Equities: On Thursday afternoon, US stocks soared following the Federal Reserve’s 50 basis point rate cut, fueling optimism for a "soft landing" of the US economy. The Dow Jones jumped over 500 points, while the S&P 500 rose by 1.7%, both reaching new record highs. The Nasdaq 100 surged 2.7%, leading the market gains as investors welcomed the Fed's efforts to stabilize growth. Tech stocks were at the forefront, with Nvidia and AMD rising 5% and 7% respectively while Tesla and Meta climbed 7.3% and 4%. Economic growth sectors like financials and industrials also saw gains; JPMorgan Chase climbed 1.8%, while Caterpillar and Home Depot advanced 4.8% and 1.5%, respectively. The rally extended to small-cap stocks, marking their seventh consecutive session of gains, with the Russell 2000 gaining 2.1%. The broad market rise indicated increased confidence in the Fed’s capability to control inflation while maintaining economic growth, further supported by a larger-than-anticipated decline in weekly jobless claims.

Fixed income: Treasury yields closed with mixed results. Short-term yields outperformed, while intermediate to long-term yields rose, leading to a sharp steepening of the 2s10s and 5s30s spreads. No new catalyst drove this price action as investors continued to digest Wednesday's FOMC meeting, extending the post-decision steepening trend. In SOFR options, larger flows turned hawkish, aiming to reduce the Fed cut premium priced into this year's remaining two meetings. front-end Treasury yields were up by about 2 basis points, while yields from the belly out to the long end were down by 1.5 to 4.5 basis points. This steepening move widened the 2s10s and 5s30s spreads by 5.5 and 3.5 basis points, respectively, building on Wednesday’s post-FOMC curve movements. There was minimal activity in swaps, with Fed-OIS pricing in around 70 basis points of combined easing over the next two policy meetings, suggesting at least one half-point cut. Further out, roughly 200 basis points of additional cuts were priced in by the end of next year. Former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers remarked that inflation would likely prevent the Federal Reserve from lowering interest rates as much as anticipated in the coming years.

Commodities: WTI crude oil futures closed at $71.95 per barrel, marking an increase of 1.47%, while Brent crude prices settled at $74.88 per barrel, up by 1.67%, driven by expectations of stronger global energy demand and higher risk premiums due to rising tensions in the Middle East. Gold prices climbed by 1.09%, settling at $2,586 an ounce, maintaining record highs for the precious metal. Silver surged by 2.3% to around $31 per ounce, reversing losses from the previous session as the dollar retreated from recent highs, alleviating downward pressure on commodity prices.

FX: As the markets digested the Fed’s 50bps rate cut, a broad risk-on environment prevailed. The US dollar was choppy but ended the day lower, and the Norwegian krone (NOK) led the gains as the Norges Bank continued to highlight postponement of rate cuts to 2025. NOK was up 0.9% against the USD and over 1% against the Japanese yen and Swiss franc, which tumbled due to the risk-on environment. The Australian dollar and British pound also gained, the formed aided by Australia’s strong employment data and the latter helped by Bank of England’s hold decision and a cautious approach to cutting rates. The Japanese yen will be bracing for the Bank of Japan announcement today where no rate hike is expected, but a hawkish rhetoric could bring back some gains after the currency has been hurt despite the Fed’s 50bps rate cut.

AUD/USD Weekly Outlook: RBA to Hold, US Data to Heat up?_1

The RBA are likely to hold their cash rate at 4.35% on Tuesday. We will of course look for any clues that the RBA have removed their hawkish bias. But given their August minutes highlighted that the cash rate seemed likely to remain elevated compared with market pricing, they seem likely to sound dovish given market pricing is more dovish than it was a month ago. Markets have fully priced in four 25bp cuts by July, which seems far-fetched given the relatively high levels of inflation and decent employment figures in place. With that said, the monthly inflation report is also out on Wednesday, which the RBA are likely to want to see before unveiling a dovish pivot.

AUD/USD Weekly Outlook: RBA to Hold, US Data to Heat up?_2

US flash PMIs and the Q2 GDP report are the warm-up act for Friday’s US PCE inflation. I have a sneaking suspicion data could surprise to the upside overall, given that is exactly what we have seen in recent CPI, NFP and ISM reports. It might not take much of an upside surprise from PCE inflation to further derail USD short bets, which would likely be bearish for AUD/USD if it does. With that said, are in all-out easing mode and the debate is over how fast they will cut (not if), which means upside pressures for AUD/USD persist overall, which is why I continue to favour a bullish breakout above 70c in Q4.

AUD/USD Weekly Outlook: RBA to Hold, US Data to Heat up?_3

AUD/USD technical analysis

I have previously outlined my bias prices to eventual the upside of the multi-month triangle. I am now questioning whether it may happen sooner than later. Prices are on track for their most bullish week in four, although yet to close above the July high. But prices also have the December high to contend with as a likely resistance level at 0.6810.

For now, I suspect prices want to head for the December high, but we’d need to see a sustained break below 100 on the US dollar index to assume continued gains on AUD/USD. Therefore, bulls could seek dips on lower timeframes but prepare to remain nimble, in case momentum turns higher for an arguably oversold US dollar. I also assume resistance at 69c may trigger a pullback initially. AUD/USD Weekly Outlook: RBA to Hold, US Data to Heat up?_4

The BoE delivered a hawkish twist to its guidance emphasising their gradual approach to reducing the restrictiveness of monetary policy. We think this supports our base case of the next cut in November and a pause in December.

Gilt yields tracked higher and EUR/GBP moved lower on the hawkish vote split and communication.

As expected, the Bank of England (BoE) decided to keep the Bank Rate unchanged at 5.00%. The vote split was 8-1 with the majority of members voting for an unchanged decision and dove Dhingra voting for a 25bp cut.

The BoE retained much of its previous guidance noting that “monetary policy will need to continue to remain restrictive for sufficiently long until the risks to inflation returning sustainably to the 2% target in the medium term have dissipated further” but added that “In the absence of material developments, a gradual approach to removing policy restraint remains appropriate“. Combined with the vote split, this delivered a slight hawkish twist pushing back on market expectations of a cut at every meeting. While data on balance has been slightly better than expected compared to the August MPR, the BoE noted upside risks to pay growth. Likewise, the BoE noted that “Bank staff expected services inflation to ease slightly further in Q4“, which at 5.6% y/y in August remains uncomfortably elevated.

We think the communication the further supports our call of a more gradual approach to a cutting cycle. We expect the next 25bp cut in November with the Bank Rate ending the year at 4.75%.

On QT, the MPC announced another GBP 100bn of quantitative tightening for the coming year starting October. Given the maturity profile, the largest part will stem from maturities (GBP 87bn) and to a much lesser extent from sales (GBP 13bn).

Rates. 2Y Gilt yields moved higher on the statement but overall, the reaction in rates markets was muted. Markets price 28bp for November and 14bp in December. We see it as more likely that the BoE will pause in December.

FX. EUR/GBP moved lower on the announcement following the slightly hawkish vote split and notion of a gradual cutting cycle. The guidance delivered highlights the more cautious approach of the BoE, which supports our case of a continued move lower in EUR/GBP. This is further amplified by UK economic outperformance and tight credit spreads. The key risk is policy action from the BoE. We stay long GBP/CHF.

Our call. We expect the BoE to deliver the next 25bp cut in November and this to be the final cut this year, making it less than markets expect (42bp by YE 2024). In 2025, we expect cuts at every meeting starting in February and until H2 2025 where we expect a step Bank of England Review – Gradual easing cycle supports GBP Bank of England Review – Gradual easing cycle supports GBP down to a quarterly pace. This leaves the Bank Rate at 3.25% by YE 2025.

If you’ve been keeping an eye on oil and gas stocks, you may have come across Zion Oil & Gas, Inc. (ZNOG). This Texas-based company has been around for quite some time, focusing on oil exploration in Israel with the goal of tapping into potential energy resources in the region. But how does the stock stack up? Let’s break it down in a way that makes sense for both seasoned investors and those new to the world of stock markets.

A Quick Overview of Zion Oil & Gas

Founded in 2000, Zion Oil & Gas has a unique mission. Unlike traditional oil companies that spread their operations across various regions, Zion is hyper-focused on Israel, particularly in the area between the Dead Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, where they believe there's potential for significant oil and gas discoveries. They operate on a strong belief that the region holds large amounts of untapped resources that could benefit not just investors but also the country’s energy independence.

How Has ZNOG Stock Performed?

ZNOG has had a rocky performance in the stock market over the years. It’s categorized as a penny stock, meaning its price tends to hover under $5, and it's known for being volatile. Over the past couple of years, Zion’s stock has seen dramatic swings, sometimes driven by announcements about drilling updates or regulatory approvals, and at other times due to the general fluctuations in the oil market.

Price Volatility: ZNOG is often seen as a speculative investment, meaning that its price moves can be unpredictable. Some investors are drawn to this because they see it as a high-risk, high-reward situation.

Recent Trends: As of now, Zion Oil & Gas’ stock price has been trading in a lower range, with occasional spikes whenever there’s news about their exploration efforts. The company has faced several challenges, including the technical difficulties of drilling in Israel and the unpredictable nature of oil discovery.

The Potential (And The Risks)

One of the main reasons investors have taken an interest in ZNOG is its potential. The idea of discovering a massive oil reserve in Israel is certainly exciting, and Zion Oil & Gas has made several attempts to tap into this. However, it’s important to remember that they haven’t struck a major, commercial oil well yet. Here’s what you need to consider:

1. Upside Potential

If Zion Oil & Gas were to successfully discover a large, profitable oil field, the stock could skyrocket. The company’s entire business model is based on the idea that there is oil in Israel, and investors who believe in this vision are holding out hope for a big win. Historically, even rumors of a successful drill have led to stock price surges.

2. Risks Involved

On the flip side, Zion Oil & Gas has faced numerous setbacks. Drilling for oil is expensive, and there’s no guarantee of success. The company has had several rounds of fundraising, which have led to dilution of shares. Additionally, while the company has a passionate investor base, particularly among those who support its religious and ethical mission, the reality is that no large commercial oil discoveries have been made yet. Investors need to be aware that there’s significant risk involved in this stock.

Financial Health and Fundamentals

When it comes to Zion Oil & Gas’ financials, there’s a lot to unpack. Like many exploration companies, Zion doesn’t generate revenue because it hasn’t found a commercially viable oil source. This means the company relies heavily on fundraising and debt financing to continue its operations.

No Earnings: Since the company hasn’t struck oil, there’s no steady stream of income, which makes it tough to evaluate ZNOG like you would a more traditional oil company. Most of their cash flow comes from issuing new shares or taking on debt, which some investors may find concerning.

Burn Rate: Zion has been burning through cash to fund its operations, from drilling efforts to maintaining its leases. The company has been transparent about the costs involved, but the clock is always ticking when it comes to funding.

Who Is Investing in ZNOG?

It’s important to note that Zion Oil & Gas has built a loyal investor base. Much of this comes from the company’s Christian mission. Zion positions its work as part of a biblical prophecy to discover oil in Israel, which has attracted a number of faith-driven investors who see this as more than just a financial investment. While this is a unique aspect of ZNOG, it also means that many of its investors are willing to hold the stock for longer periods, sometimes regardless of financial performance.

The Future Outlook

So, what does the future hold for Zion Oil & Gas, and is it a good buy? Here’s what we can say:

1. Speculative Buy

ZNOG is a high-risk, high-reward stock. If Zion does manage to make a significant oil discovery, early investors could see a substantial return on their investment. However, the speculative nature of oil exploration means that success is far from guaranteed.

2. Faith-Based Investing

For those who are interested in the company’s religious mission, ZNOG might be appealing as a long-term hold, even if the stock doesn’t immediately perform. However, even faith-driven investors should weigh the risks of the stock, as there are no guarantees in the oil exploration business.

3. Wait and See

For more risk-averse investors, it might be worth taking a wait-and-see approach. Following the company’s progress with its latest drilling efforts could provide more clarity on whether they’re close to a breakthrough or still facing significant challenges.

Conclusion: Is Zion Oil & Gas (ZNOG) Stock Worth It?

Zion Oil & Gas is not your typical stock. Its speculative nature and unique focus on oil exploration in Israel make it an interesting, if risky, investment. If you’re someone who believes in the company’s mission and are willing to take on the risk, it could be worth considering as a small part of a diversified portfolio. However, for those looking for more stable, revenue-generating investments, ZNOG might be too much of a gamble.

In the end, whether or not you invest in Zion Oil & Gas comes down to your risk tolerance and how much faith you have in the company’s ability to discover oil in Israel. As always, do your research and consider speaking with a financial advisor before making any big moves in the stock market.
