Dow Jones02-25
1001 GMT - The U.K. energy regulator's decision to lower the energy price cap by 7% from April could raise the chances of the Bank of England cutting interest rates in March, XTB's Kathleen Brooks says in a note. The reduction in energy bills is likely to result in lower inflation, creating room for BOE rate cuts, Brooks says. Markets currently price a 76% chance of a BOE rate cut in March, LSEG data show.
