Bank of England has fewer excuses not to rock the boat

The Bank of England (BoE) is set to slash borrowing costs by 25 bps, its second cut in this cycle. Investors will be watching the voting pattern among members of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), with a broad majority expected in favor of the move. 

What makes this BoE decision a "Super Thursday" is the publication of the Monetary Policy Report (MPR). The bank's quarterly document includes forecasts for growth and inflation, and is famous for its "fan charts" – a range of outcomes. Will this range narrow now?

Britain's new Labour government released its budget plans, which included borrowing, taxes, and investment. How does it impact future policy? Any clarity would rock GBP/USD. 

Moreover, Governor Andrew Bailey will meet the press, and will sure be asked about the implications of Donald Trump's reelection as US President. While he will likely dodge such questions, American policies impact the British economy – and the BoE.
