Early expectations suggest that the Bank of England will keep interest rates unchanged at 5.25% this week.🤦🏻 According to a poll of economists by City AM, 61% believe the Bank will start cutting rates in June, while 26% chose August. Despite data due on Wednesday which is expected to show consumer price inflation fell to 3.6% last month, the bank seems to be slow in reducing interest rates.🤔 In my view, the case for reducing rates before this summer, to help boost growth, is growing, and has been for some time.👍🏼 The Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee is due to meet on Thursday 21 March for its next rate-setting vote.🗳️ Banking & Finance Team (MHA) #ukbusiness #interestrates #businessadvisory #businessfinance Source: https://lnkd.in/exnUhWEA

Central Banks are reducing interest rates (#BankofEngland & #BankofCanada) or signalling that they will (#FederalReserve). (The #BankofJapan is moving in the opposite direction). While the cuts are welcome, they are small (a mere 5% decrease in the case of the #BOE) and only time will tell whether they signal a trend reversal or are just blips. Closer home, the #CentralBankofKuwait & the other #GCC Central Banks are expected to follow the #Fed. #interestrates #centralbanks #rates #ratecuts #BOJ #Kuwait #CBK

📉Rate Cut by Bank of England📉 BOE cuts bank rate by 25 bps to 5.00% in knife-edge call Bank rate vote 4-0-5 vs 4-0-5 expected (Pill, Mann, Haskel, Greene voted to keep rates on hold) Andrew Bailey announced that this was a ‘finely balanced decision’. He mentioned that Services price inflation and domestic inflation pressures remain elevated, and there may be a slight rise in price inflation in August before easing the rest of 2024. So far, the market movement has been muted and we will look to the US opening to see how these decisions will be viewed. Initially, the decision could be viewed as slightly dovish.

Bank of England cuts rates to 5% The Bank of England has cut interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point in its first dovish move on interest rates this cycle.

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.
