BoE Rate Decision (Sep 17)

UK Headline Inflation Rises to 2.9%, BoE Holds Rate Tomorrow

Headline inflation climbed from 2.6% to 2.9% year-on-year, driven by energy costs, while core inflation stayed at 2.6%, above the 2.5% forecast. Services inflation held steady at 3.4% and wage growth slowed. The BoE is expected to keep rates unchanged tomorrow, navigating persistent price pressures against weakening labour demand.

Bank of England holds rates steady despite UK inflation at 3.1%

The BoE is expected to keep rates unchanged Thursday despite UK inflation rising to 3.1%, defying the Fed's tightening cycle. GBP/USD traders should watch for dovish guidance that could widen the rate differential with the US, where PCE inflation at 3.7% is keeping Fed hikes on the table.

Bank of England holds rates, signals slower bond-buying today

The BoE is expected to keep interest rates unchanged and slow its bond-selling programme at noon today. Weak UK labour market—falling payrolled employment, negative real wage growth, multi-year low vacancies—supports the cautious stance. GBP/USD and GBP crosses likely to react based on forward guidance and QT pace signals.

Bank of England Holds Rates at 3.75%; 6-3 Vote Split Expected

The BoE is expected to keep the Bank Rate unchanged at 3.75%, repeating July's 6-3 hold-versus-hike vote split under Governor Bailey's leadership. The decision comes after the Fed's recent hike and will be closely watched for any shifts in forward guidance. GBP pairs could see volatility around the announcement and subsequent press conference.
