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 ECB delivered another 50bps rate hike, as promised in February and expected. It is not allowing Silicon Valley Bank’s broadly irrelevant failure to break its focus.
Higher core inflation forecasts extend the problem and necessitate a tight monetary setting to break excessive pressures. ECB policy will rightly be data-dependent.
We forecast 25bp deposit rate hikes in May and June, with risks skewed towards further steps if resilience outlives the current financial stability issues.
