The central banks of the US and the UK may raise interest rates by 75 basis points this week, but the implications are different.

This week, the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England will hold highly anticipated monetary policy meetings, with both expected to announce a rate hike of 75 basis points. However, the implications of the same rate hike for the two central banks are vastly different.

For the Federal Reserve, raising interest rates by 75 basis points for the fourth consecutive time will present a critical choice. The current momentum of the U.S. economic recovery is gradually being overshadowed by the negative impact of tightening policies, but inflation remains at a 40-year high. The Federal Reserve needs to weigh the options between continuing to combat inflation and avoiding an economic recession. The market generally expects that the Federal Reserve may be more inclined towards the latter, that is, to avoid an economic recession.

In contrast, the Bank of England's 75 basis point rate hike would be the largest increase in interest rates since 1989. The Bank of England seems to prefer prioritizing the fight against inflation, even in the face of recession risks. With the political turmoil temporarily settling down, the Bank of England can focus on addressing the most severe inflation problem in 40 years.

The U.S. bond market rebounded last week, with the yield on the 10-year Treasury note falling to around 4%. Some investors believe that the Federal Reserve may slow its pace after this rate hike to avoid pushing the economy into recession. This view is supported by some Federal Reserve officials. However, U.S. inflation remains high, especially as the core PCE price index has accelerated for two consecutive months, indicating that the Federal Reserve still faces significant challenges in combating inflation.

The market generally expects the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates by 75 basis points in November, but there are disagreements regarding the magnitude of the rate hike in December. Some analysts believe that the Federal Reserve will only consider slowing down the pace of rate hikes if inflation data begins to decline.

Meanwhile, the situation for the Bank of England is more challenging. The UK's inflation rate reached 10% in September, returning to a 40-year high. At the same time, the UK economy faces the risk of an impending recession. The Bank of England previously predicted that the UK economy would fall into recession in the fourth quarter of this year, potentially lasting until the end of 2023. Some analysts are even more pessimistic, believing that the recession could extend into 2024.

In the global wave of interest rate hikes, the Bank of England, although one of the first central banks to start raising rates, has lagged behind the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank in the magnitude of its hikes. Recent political turmoil has exacerbated the crisis in the bond market, further complicating the Bank of England's situation. With the new Prime Minister taking office, the UK bond market has temporarily regained calm, providing the Bank of England with more room to focus on addressing inflation issues.

Overall, this week's interest rate decision is crucial for the Central Banks of both the US and the UK, but the challenges they face and their policy orientations show significant differences. The market will closely watch the decisions of the two Central Banks and their impact on future economic trends.
