The Bank of England may respond more aggressively than expected to surging energy prices tied to war in the Middle East, as its internal models assume a large and long-lasting inflation impact. The implication is a more hawkish policy path and higher-for-longer rates if the inflation shock persists. This is a market-wide macro risk, particularly for rates, FX, and UK interest-rate-sensitive assets.
