<p>After last week’s press release, the Governor of the <a href="https://www.leaprate.com/forex/market-news/boe-bank-of-england-could-lower-rates-next-week/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bank of England</a>, Andrew Bailey, stated:</p>
<blockquote><p>We know inflation hits the least wealthy citizens, and we need to be sure that it comes down consistently to reach the 2% target.</p></blockquote>
<p>Although a consistent decrease in inflation is paramount for economic recovery, UK Economist at Bank of America, Mark Wood, suggests that the interest rate expectations curve reveals the market will now accept higher rates in 2024, particularly in Q2 of next year.</p>
<p>Dominic Bunning, Head of European FX Research at HSBC, also noted a change in inflation outlook for the next 2 years. Bunning stated:</p>
<blockquote><p>The Bank of England’s forecasts for inflation for 2025 increased compared to May’s monetary policy report despite the new forecasts being predicated on higher rates than those used in May’s projections.</p></blockquote>
