Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee Preview
The Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee will meet tomorrow to decide on interest rates. The MPC meeting will be sandwiched between FOMC rate decision that will have taken place today, and the ECB rate decision that would follow an hour and a bit later. The GBP/USD, EUR/GBP and FTSE will be among the markets in sharp focus on the day.
The consensus is that the BoE will show the pace of hiking, as we are expected to see with the week’s other major central bank decisions. Economists expect the UK central bank to raise the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points, which would bring the Official Bank Rate to 3.5%. If correct, this will mean the previous 75 basis point hike was just a one off.
