SURPRISE ⚡
What outcome of the risk event will surprise the markets based on the baseline

Positive Data Surprise:
- Outcome: If the data beats expectations across the board, it will likely reinforce market expectations of no rate cuts next week.

- Market Reaction: Continued pound strength.

- Trade Pair: GBP/JPY - The yield spread between UK and Japan bonds suggests potential upside for this pair.

Negative Data Surprise:
- Outcome: If the data misses expectations, the pound could weaken as investors speculate on a more dovish BoE outlook.

- Market Reaction: Pound weakness.

- Trade Pair: GBP/NZD - The yield spread between UK and New Zealand bonds favors a downside move in this pair.

BIGGER PICTURE 🌐
Does this outcome changes the larger macro-fundamental bias

Macro-Fundamental Bias:
- Current Expectation: The BoE is expected to hold interest rates steady at 4.75% at its next meeting on December 19.

- Future Outlook: Governor Andrew Bailey has hinted at gradual rate cuts starting in 2025, with markets pricing in three 25-basis-point cuts by the end of next year.

- Implications: A positive data surprise would support the current expectation of no immediate rate cuts, while a negative surprise could lead to speculation about a more dovish stance from the BoE.
