Reuters Poll Confirms November Bank of England Rate Hike Remains Priced In
What happened
Reuters released a poll detailing expectations for future Bank of England rate decisions. The report noted that a November rate hike remains firmly priced in, despite the Bank of England holding Bank Rate at 3.75% in September. While the GBP/USD rebounded sharply, the report suggests this movement was primarily due to Dollar weakness rather than genuine Sterling strength.
