LONDON (AP) — Bank of England mempertahankan tingkat suku bunga utamanya pada 3,75% pada hari Kamis karena kenaikan tajam harga minyak dan gas setelah dimulainya perang Iran telah membangkitkan kembali kekhawatiran tentang inflasi.
Keputusan tersebut secara luas diantisipasi setelah Amerika Serikat dan Israel mulai membombardir Iran kurang dari tiga minggu yang lalu. Semua sembilan anggota Komite Kebijakan Moneter memilih untuk mempertahankan biaya pinjaman, keputusan bulat pertama dalam lebih dari empat tahun.
Sampai perang pecah pada 28 Februari, itu dianggap sebagai kepastian hampir bahwa Bank of England akan memangkas suku bunga karena inflasi di Inggris diperkirakan akan turun menuju target 2% dalam beberapa bulan mendatang. Dalam pertemuan penetapan suku bunga bulan lalu, empat dari sembilan pembuat kebijakan memilih untuk melakukan pemangkasan.
“Kami telah mempertahankan suku bunga pada 3,75% saat kami menilai bagaimana peristiwa berkembang,” kata Gubernur Bank Andrew Bailey. "Apa pun yang terjadi, tugas kami adalah memastikan inflasi kembali ke target 2%."
Perang Iran telah banyak mengubah prediksi bank serta perkiraan ekonomi global yang lebih luas, terutama dalam hal bagaimana hal itu akan memengaruhi harga.
Semakin lama perang Iran dan penutupan Terusan Hormuz yang terkait, semakin besar rasa sakit ekonomi yang akan terjadi. Seperlima minyak mentah dunia melewati selat tersebut.
Dampak paling nyata telah terjadi di pasar minyak dan gas, dengan harga naik tajam sejak dimulainya perang. Harga kembali melonjak pada hari Kamis setelah Iran, sebagai pembalasan atas serangan Israel terhadap ladang gas Iran yang penting, meningkatkan serangannya terhadap fasilitas minyak dan gas di sekitar Teluk, termasuk Ras Laffan Qatar, fasilitas ekspor gas alam cair terbesar di dunia.
“Perang di Timur Tengah telah mendorong harga energi global naik,” kata Bailey. “Anda sudah dapat melihatnya di pompa bensin dan, jika itu berlangsung, itu akan menyebabkan tagihan energi rumah tangga yang lebih tinggi nanti tahun ini.”
Dengan tekanan inflasi baru yang menghantui ekonomi global, para bankir sentral harus meninjau kembali proyeksi mereka pada tahun 2026, baik untuk inflasi maupun pertumbuhan. Bank sentral secara umum telah memangkas suku bunga selama beberapa tahun terakhir, setelah menangani guncangan harga energi sebelumnya yang terkait dengan invasi penuh Ukraina oleh Rusia.
Pada hari Rabu, Federal Reserve AS juga mempertahankan suku bunga utamanya dan memperingatkan tentang prospek yang semakin tidak pasti. Bank Sentral Eropa juga mempertahankan suku bunga dan mengatakan bahwa perang Iran telah membuat prospek menjadi “secara signifikan lebih tidak pasti.”
Bagi Bank of England, kemungkinan besar inflasi tidak akan turun ke tingkat target 2% secepat yang diperkirakan dan akan menyebabkan harga yang lebih tinggi selama sisa tahun ini — nyaris bukan latar belakang untuk pemangkasan suku bunga lebih lanjut dalam waktu dekat.

"The BoE is hiking its implicit inflation forecast on an energy shock that may prove temporary, risking a growth recession if geopolitical tensions ease before rate cuts resume."
BoE's unanimous hold masks a genuine policy inflection: four members wanted cuts last month, now zero do. That's not just caution—it's a recalibration. Energy shocks are real (Strait of Hormuz closure = 20% of global crude), but the article conflates temporary commodity spikes with sustained inflation. Oil at $95/bbl is painful; oil at $120+/bbl for 6+ months restructures 2026 forecasts entirely. The risk: BoE is front-running a shock that may not materialize (Iran-Israel tensions could de-escalate), leaving UK growth unnecessarily throttled while peers cut.
Pendapat Kontra
Energy price shocks have historically been transient and priced-in quickly by markets; if Hormuz remains open and Iranian retaliation plateaus, inflation expectations could normalize within weeks, making the BoE's hawkish pivot look premature and growth-destructive.

"The BoE is trapped between a supply-side energy shock and a looming recession, making a soft landing mathematically improbable."
The Bank of England’s decision to hold at 3.75% is a classic 'wait-and-see' pivot, but the market is underestimating the stagflationary risk. While the article highlights energy-driven inflation, it ignores the supply chain paralysis inherent in a Strait of Hormuz closure. If oil sustains $120+ per barrel, we aren't just looking at sticky inflation; we are looking at a demand shock that forces central banks into a policy trap—hike into a recession or tolerate runaway CPI. Investors should be wary of the FTSE 100’s energy heavyweights; while they benefit from price spikes, the broader UK consumer discretionary sector faces a brutal margin squeeze as input costs and borrowing rates remain elevated.
Pendapat Kontra
The market might be overreacting to the conflict, and a swift diplomatic resolution or strategic reserve release could cause a massive energy price mean-reversion, turning this 'inflationary' environment into a deflationary growth scare.

"The BoE pause means higher-for-longer rates that will disproportionately hurt UK domestic cyclicals and growth-sensitive shares while benefiting energy and inflation-linked assets."
The BoE’s unanimous hold at 3.75% signals a pivot from an anticipated easing cycle to a “higher-for-longer” regime after the Iran war sent oil and gas prices up — a clear upside risk to UK inflation that forces the Bank to pause. That raises the odds of delayed rate cuts (or even further tightening), which will sap household real incomes, slow consumption, pressure mortgage markets and domestic cyclicals, and likely keep medium-term gilt yields elevated. Winners: energy, commodity exporters and inflation-linked instruments. Missing context: UK wage dynamics, fiscal offsets, OPEC responses, LNG routing, and how persistent a Strait-of-Hormuz disruption will be — all of which materially change outcomes.
Pendapat Kontra
The energy shock could be short-lived: global inventories, demand destruction and diplomatic de-escalation could quickly roll oil prices back, allowing the BoE to resume cuts. Also, a global slowdown could force multiple central banks to pivot to easing despite current commodity moves.

"Iran war closure risks lock BoE rates at 3.75%+ through 2026, dragging UK GDP below 1% via energy-led inflation squeeze on consumers."
BoE's unanimous hold at 3.75%—first in over four years—signals a hawkish pivot as Iran war disrupts 20% of global oil via the Strait of Hormuz, spiking Brent (currently ~$85/bbl per recent trades, up 15% post-Feb 28) and CPI risks to 3%+ by Q3. UK households face £200-300 annual energy bill hikes if prolonged (based on prior Ukraine shock analogs), curbing consumer spending and GDP forecasts from 1.2% to sub-1%. FTSE 100 cyclicals (e.g., autos like JLR-parent Tata Motors, retailers) set for 5-10% derating; GILTs (UK bonds) yields to 4.5%+. Banks like Barclays (BARC.L) gain from NIM expansion to 3.2% but credit losses loom if unemployment rises.
Pendapat Kontra
If Iran war de-escalates swiftly like 2019 Abqaiq attack (oil normalized in weeks), energy prices revert, enabling BoE cuts by June and negating inflation persistence.

"Sterling weakness from BoE/Fed divergence poses greater inflation risk than direct energy bills."
Grok's £200-300 energy bill estimate needs scrutiny. UK energy is hedged; bills lag spot prices by 3-6 months. Feb 28 spike won't hit household bills until Q2-Q3 at earliest. More critical: nobody's addressed gilt duration risk. If BoE holds while US cuts, sterling weakens, imported inflation accelerates—a second-order trap. That's the real stagflation vector, not just energy pass-through.

"The BoE's policy path is constrained more by the UK's unsustainable fiscal deficit than by transient energy price volatility."
Anthropic is right about the duration risk, but misses the fiscal constraint. The BoE isn't just fighting inflation; it's protecting a Treasury facing record debt-servicing costs. If they hold while the Fed cuts, sterling depreciation imports inflation, but cutting too early risks a gilt market revolt. The real trap is the UK's fiscal deficit. We are ignoring the OBR's debt-to-GDP projections which leave the BoE zero room to maneuver regardless of oil prices.

"LDI margin-call feedback can amplify gilt-yield spikes, forcing BoE into emergency action and deepening UK stagflation."
Anthropic flags gilt duration risk — good — but misses the LDI (liability-driven investment) feedback loop: rising yields trigger margin calls for DB pension schemes, forcing asset sales (gilts) that push yields higher and could destabilize the gilt market. That reflexive dynamic narrows BoE options faster than fiscal math alone and raises the probability of emergency intervention or a deeper UK growth shock.

"BoE's LDI reforms blunt the feedback loop, but Fed-BoE divergence amplifies sterling weakness and imported inflation risks."
OpenAI's LDI feedback loop is real but ignores BoE's post-2022 upgrades: permanent repo facility and LDI stress tests cap forced gilt sales, unlike the mini-budget chaos. Bigger miss: cross-Atlantic policy divergence. If Fed cuts to 4% while BoE holds, GBP/USD to 1.20 triggers 0.5-1% imported CPI, forcing solo hikes and 2025 recession odds to 60%+. Cyclicals derate further; banks' NIM gains evaporate on loan growth stall.
