So What Could Happen?
UK Rate Decision Today!
The Bank of England meets at lunchtime today for their latest rate decision.
The meeting is likely to have a big impact on the Pound’s direction going forward.
While no change in rate is expected, the voting pattern is the key.
Last time round, we had one member vote for a hike, eight on hold and none for a cut.
As always, the Pound will be super sensitive to any change.
We note in recent weeks that other central banks have steered the market away from expecting cuts in 2024 and back towards a “higher for longer” outlook.
A move in that direction would be Sterling positive.
If however, the committee all move to a neutral / hold stance, it’s likely to be Sterling negative.
It’s a bumper end to the week because on Friday we have the latest UK GDP.
The market expects annual growth for the UK of 0.3%. Every little helps.
