BoE Uses Maradona Theory to Tackle Inflation
The Bank of England has adopted a monetary policy based on the "Maradona Theory" approach, which aims to persuade markets that raising interest rates is on the table to bring down inflation, without actually having to increase them. The bank decided to keep the interest rate steady at 3.75%, with expectations of a possible quarter-point rise later this year, despite market forecasts that this may not happen in July. The ceasefire between the United States and Iran impacted oil prices, causing them to fall below $80 per barrel and easing inflation risks. Additionally, inflation data showed that the growth rate was low at 2.8% in May, with inflation peak expectations lowered to 3.25%.
