Key Quotes:
The central forecast of today’s Inflation Report was conditioned on the status quo (thus a Remain win). The MPC revised down its growth forecast but left its inflation forecast broadly unchanged.
Nevertheless, the BoE discussed risks associated with a Leave win, identifying a possible material slowdown in both demand and supply, as well as a sharp depreciation in the exchange rate.
Markets have responded relatively little to today’s decision."
