The Bank of England has voted to keep the UK’s base rate at 3.75 per cent as the ongoing war between the US-Iran war causes an ‘uncertain global backdrop’ for the markets. Prior to President Donald Trump and Israel’s decision to launch military action against the Islamic Republic, markets had priced in at least two rate cuts from the central bank in 2026. What does this mean for you?
Inflation is projected to hit 3.5 per cent, up from two per cent, in the third quarter of 2026 due to the ‘conflict in the Middle East significantly shifts the outlook’ from the Bank of England. The central bank has revised its forecasts for the consumer price index (CPI) rate in response to the US-Iran war, with the UK energy market now in line for an ‘inflationary shock’. How will you be impacted?
Best wishes,
