BOE Interest-Rate Rise Can't Be Ruled Out -- Market Talk
Dow Jones06-18
1435 GMT - The BOE could keep interest rates on hold in the coming months, but an interest rate increase can't be counted out, eToro's Lale Akoner says in a note. The BOE left rates unchanged at 3.75% at Thursday's decision, arguing that a weak U.K. economic outlook justifies the decision. "With inflation still expected to remain above target into next year, the risk of another rate increase has not disappeared entirely," Akoner says. Investors fully price in the possibility of one BOE interest rate hike in 2026, LSEG data show. (miriam.mukuru@wsj.com)
