英镑跌至1.35美元,为两周来的最低水平,此前英国借贷数据大幅低于预期。8月份,公共部门净借款达到180亿英镑,为五年来的最高水平,远高于127亿英镑的预测。本财政年度前五个月的借款达到838亿英镑,比OBR 3月份的预测高出114亿英镑,前几个月的预测上调了59亿英镑。这些数据在秋季预算之前增加了压力,同时全球对主权债务的担忧,最近将30年期国债收益率推至历史新高。与此同时,英国央行以7票赞成、2票反对的结果将利率维持在4%,将QT放缓至700亿英镑,并重申其谨慎立场。交易员适度延长了长期宽松政策的押注。在美国,美联储今年降息25个基点,并表示今年将再降息50个基点,尽管鲍威尔强调这不是全面宽松周期的开始。
The British pound fell to $1.35, the lowest in two weeks, after UK borrowing data sharply missed expectations. Public sector net borrowing hit £18 billion in August, the highest for the month in five years and well above forecasts of £12.7 billion. Borrowing in the first five months of the fiscal year reached £83.8 billion, £11.4 billion above the OBR’s March forecast, with prior months revised higher by £5.9 billion. The figures add pressure ahead of the autumn budget and come amid global concerns over sovereign debt, which recently pushed 30-year gilt yields to record highs. Meanwhile, the BoE held rates at 4% in a 7–2 vote, slowed QT to £70 billion, and reiterated its cautious stance. Traders modestly extended long-term easing bets. In the US, the Fed cut rates by 25 bps and signaled 50 bps more this year, though Powell stressed it was not the start of a full easing cycle.
