Bank of England keeps rate at 3.75% as three policymakers back move to 4%
AI Market Summary
The Bank of England held the policy rate at 3.75%, but a 6-3 split and rising fuel-driven inflation signal growing near-term tightening risk. Markets are increasingly pricing a hike at the next one or two meetings, which can lift UK rate expectations and increase GBP sensitivity to inflation and energy headlines. Higher expected rates may tighten financial conditions and weigh on risk assets tied to UK demand.

The Bank of England kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 3.75%, but the Monetary Policy Committee was split, with three members calling for a 25-basis-point increase to 4%. Markets expect the central bank could begin raising rates in November or December to counter inflation pressure from higher fuel prices driven by the Iran conflict.
