BANK OF ENGLAND IN RATE RISE HINT

The Bank of England (BoE) has signalled that the UK’s first interest rate hike in more than a decade may be fast approaching.

While the minutes of the latest Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting on 13 September showed a 7-2 majority in favour of keeping rates on hold at 0.25%, they also included new guidance indicating a readiness to increase rates in the coming months if price pressures continue to grow as expected. BoE Governor, Mark Carney reinforced this hawkish message saying the possibility of a rise in interest rates had “definitely increased”.
