FX: Sterling Longs Win Battle Of BoE (For Now)


  • An overview of BoE's highly divisive rate decision. 
  • BoE keeps rates on hold in a 7-2 vote like December.
  • Favour buying Sterling dips, but mindful of Brexit deadlines. 



An overview of the BoE's highly anticipated rate decision, which ended in a 7-2 hold unchanged from December. August looks to be the next touch point for when the BoE could cut, but the UK economy seems to be on the improve for now. A full rate cut is no longer priced into the curve with only a 97% chance the BoE cut by the end of 2020.
