Bank of England Completes Quantitative Tightening with Bond Plan

The Bank of England (BoE) announced that, under the multi-year plan unveiled at its September interest rate decision meeting, it will dispose of the government bonds (gilts) it purchased during the quantitative easing period by 2034. This plan provides a definitive timetable for the Bank's quantitative tightening process. The bond sales in question will be carried out gradually as part of the BoE's strategy to shrink its balance sheet. Thus, the effects of the expansionary monetary policy implemented during the pandemic will be reversed over an extended period. Market participants assess that this announcement reduces uncertainty by clarifying the final framework of quantitative tightening. The plan may have medium-term effects on the UK bond market and the sterling. This step by the BoE parallels the monetary policy normalization processes of other major central banks. However, the pace and timing of bond sales can be adjusted depending on economic conditions. Not investment advice.

The Bank of England's completion of quantitative tightening indicates that global liquidity conditions will tighten further. This situation could increase the risk of capital outflows from emerging markets and countries with high external financing needs, such as Turkey. In the short term, selling pressure may build on the Turkish lira and local bond yields, and the stock market could be adversely affected. However, the extent of the impact will depend on the policies of other central banks and global risk appetite.

The Bank of England's completion of its quantitative tightening (QT) process means the end of bond sales, which typically has a downward effect on long-term bond yields. However, this decision may be largely priced in; GBPUSD has already fallen 0.25% in 24 hours and the RSI at 32.5 is near oversold territory. The MACD is in negative territory and the price is below the SMA20 and SMA50, indicating a weak short-term technical outlook. Since the news does not contain a direct surprise, the 1-3 day impact is expected to be limited and neutral; nevertheless, oversold conditions increase the likelihood of a short-term rebound.
