Citigroup interest rate strategist Jamie Searle pointed out that the uncertainty over the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz will cause short-term government bond yields to remain fragile, and that next week's central bank policy meetings could further increase market volatility. He mentioned that the European Central Bank might consider a preemptive rate hike, while the Bank of England is expected to stay cautious.

Mars Finance News, March 13 — Citigroup rate strategist Jamie Searle stated in a report that short-term government bond yields may remain volatile until clarity emerges on when the Strait of Hormuz might reopen. Searle pointed out that central banks will hold policy meetings next week, which could increase market volatility. Searle said that the European Central Bank may keep the door open for a preemptive rate hike, while the Bank of England might be cautious in its language and retain the option to cut rates later. “The basic situation is that uncertainty provides a reason for the ECB to hold steady, but it doesn’t rule out the possibility of several preemptive rate hikes,” Searle said.
