This afternoon will see the simultaneous release of the Interest Rate Decision, The MPC minutes and the inflation report. Previously there was an almost two week difference between each release so the new format could cause quite a stir on the exchange.
The MPC’s nine members vote on whether there should be a rate change. If there is a majority the rate change will come into place. Today I would expect to see 1-2 members vote for a hike which could well cause further strength. Personally I think it is very premature as a rate hike would just aggravate the problems with our exports due the high value of Sterling.
