1255 GMT - Investors raise expectations of the Bank of England increasing interest rates in 2026 after the U.S. and Iran hostilities resurface. Negotiations between the two nations have failed to reach an agreement, leading President Trump to warn that Iran will "pay the price". Markets fear that the prolonged conflict could keep energy prices high and push up global inflation. Investors price in a total of 47 basis points of BOE rate hikes in 2026, up from 39bps priced in a week ago, LSEG data show. (miriam.mukuru@wsj.com)
