On the question of weight, I'd treat the headline rate as the known quantity and the Monetary Policy Report language as the part that moves expectations for later meetings. In futures terms, the useful check is whether the rate curve shifts more than the decision itself, since that tells you what the market took from the guidance. The other side is that the headline can dominate in the first minutes, so the report may matter more over the following sessions. Which one do you think the market priced in ahead of this release?
