So Bailey didn't raise rates in part because the market didn't expect it. Yet also says that rates are forecasted to be 1.9-2% end of 2025. The market is pricing end of 2025 rate at 4.5%...Comment

Rates held at 5.25 with 6 votes. 3 dissenters voting for increase. (It was 5 for hold and 4 for increase last meeting).

Tories are even more screwed then they already were.
Market seems to be predicting 5.25% until Q3 2024. Then lowering to 4.25% by end of 2026!Last edited by JustKeepSwimming; 2 November 2023, 12:49.Comment
