BoE has to deal with massive uncertainty

UK interest rates have room to fall from the current 4.50% rate, but if prices rise and the economy holds up, perhaps the direction could change. Fortunately, inflation has been coming down, allowing for another decrease in interest rates. However, there is lots of uncertainty.

Britain signed a trade deal with India, but that is minor in comparison to talks with the US, and in general, the impact of US duties on the global and British growth trajectory.

The upcoming decision is a "Super Thursday" one in which the BoE releases its quarterly Monetary Policy Report (MPR) in addition to the regular rate decision and the accompanying meeting minutes.

Coming one day after the hold decision by the Federal Reserve (Fed), perhaps BoE Governor Andrew Bailey and his colleagues will remain cautious, potentially keeping Sterling strong.
