On September 15th, institutional analysts pointed out that the market expects the Bank of England to keep its base interest rate unchanged on Thursday, but at the same time slow its planned reduction of government bond holdings. This plan is attracting increasing attention as government bond yields continue to rise. The Bank of England cut its base rate from 4.25% to 4% last month, maintaining the pace of rate cuts since August 2024. At that time, as inflation retreated from its 2022 peak, the central bank began to gradually remove policy restrictions that had been curbing economic activity. Policymakers described this series of 25 basis point rate cuts every three months as "cautious and gradual." If this pace continues, policymakers should hold the base rate at 4.25% on Thursday. However, there are signs that they will not only keep interest rates unchanged this week, but may also hold rates steady at their November or December meetings.Russian Ministry of Defense: Russian Tu-22M3 bombers are patrolling the high seas area of the Barents Sea.Dow Jones: The Bank of England is expected to keep its key interest rate unchanged and reduce quantitative tightening.
