Market outlook for the Bank of England terminal rate has changed quite a bit over the last few weeks, with expectation broadly for two further increases to c.4.50% as opposed to a flatter path with potential cuts toward the end of the year. That's taken swap rate up by around +30bps; so the market movement you're seeing is as a direct result. Potential to see a bit more, assuming swap rates remain at that level.refluxer said:Some banks seem to have bucked the general slow, downward trend and put their fixed rates up a bit during the last week - Tandem went from 4.00% to 4.25% and Atom from 4.15% to 4.20% for 1 year, for example.4 -
