Heteronomics

Heteronomics represents a different kind of economics. We believe analysis should delve into the details of what is really going on, rather than using overly simplistic assumptions to quick-sell stories. Independence from myopic institutional pressures allows us to focus on the realities underlying your asset allocation decisions, without the conflicts of the old market structures. Heteronomics targets the themes driving UK asset prices, offering the benefits of depth, independence and ultimately price.

The final EA HICP inflation print raised the headline by 3bps in Nov-22, causing it to round to 10.1%. Italian energy and core news among smaller states drove the change.
Underlying inflationary impulses are diverging, with Germany and France near their peaks while Spain slows. These pressures all remain inconsistent with the target.
Tolerance for persistently high inflation is running low, encouraging the ECB to sustain its forceful hikes. Further falls in headline rates should not be mistaken for victory.
