The Bank of England is expected to hold steady this week as the benchmark interest rate remains far above expectations from the beginning of the year.
At the beginning of the year, investors anticipated that the Bank of England would cut interest rates six times; however, as 2024 comes to a close, the benchmark rate is a full percentage point higher than expectations from 12 months ago. The Bank of England is expected to maintain the interest rate at 4.75% in Thursday's policy meeting and continue to adhere to the guideline of 'still appropriate to gradually relax restrictive policies.' Although Bank Governor Bailey indicated that there may be four rate cuts in 2025, the market, after failing to make aggressive bets on rate cuts, only expects three cuts next year, possibly starting in February. The decision from the Bank of England on December 19 is anticipated to stay put.
