BoE keeps well GBP supported
“Hawkish BoE was one factor that kept GBP supported. Governor Bailey stressed on the need to make sure inflation stays close to target. Also, labour government’s budget may add to inflation, alongside Trump’s tariff plans. These reinforced our view that the BoE may have to stick with its gradual approach on lowering rates.
