Sterling Weakens Amid Rate Hike Doubts

The British pound retreated to its lowest level in a week against the dollar and the euro, due to a decline in expectations for the Bank of England to raise interest rates this year. Their forecasts for a rate increase have been reduced by 24.7 basis points by December, compared to previous expectations of a 25 basis point hike, reflecting a decreased likelihood of a rate hike in 2026. This also coincided with a drop in UK bond yields amid falling oil prices, as monitoring continues of mediation efforts to end the conflict in the Middle East, with experts doubting the possibility of an interest rate increase next year.
