Traders are betting that one of Mark Carney’s last acts as Bank of England governor will be an interest-rate cut.
Market pricing shows a 25-basis-point reduction in rates is almost fully priced in for the BOE’s January 2020 meeting -- due to be held on Carney’s penultimate day in office. That would leave the key interest rate at 0.5% -- the same level it was when the Canadian took up the job in 2013.
Investors’ bets on lower borrowing costs have increased amid heightened concern that new prime minister Boris Johnson will take the U.K. out of the European Union without a deal in October. They’ve accelerated further in recent days as central banks around the world, including the Fed, lowered rates in response to trade tensions and a gloomier economic outlook.
