Previously, the bank had expected the Bank of England to keep rates unchanged throughout 2026. Goldman Sachs analysts stated in a report, "Wholesale energy prices have risen sharply in recent weeks, with overall inflation exceeding the central banks expectations, while economic data has been strong." Rising energy prices have further exacerbated market concerns about the UK inflation outlook. However, in line with market expectations, Goldman Sachs expects the Bank of England to maintain its benchmark interest rate at 3.75% at its meeting on September 17th. Furthermore, the institution stated that the Bank of England may keep rates unchanged after the November hike, as falling energy prices reduce the need for further tightening, followed by rate cuts at the end of 2027. LSEG data shows that traders expect the Bank of England to raise interest rates by 47 basis points by the end of this year.September 14th news: From September 7th to September 13th, the national logistics operation data is as follows: National railways transported 82.651 million tons of freight, a 6.1% increase compared to the previous period; 58.467 million trucks passed through national expressways, a 2.98% increase compared to the previous period; monitored ports handled 270.168 million tons of cargo, a 0.27% decrease compared to the previous period, and 7.15 million TEUs of containers, a 2.57% increase compared to the previous period; civil aviation handled 122,000 flights (including 5,193 cargo flights, comprising 3,170 international cargo flights and 2,023 domestic cargo flights), a 1.33% decrease compared to the previous period; postal and express delivery collection volume was approximately 4.065 billion pieces, a 0.47% decrease compared to the previous period; delivery volume was approximately 4.068 billion pieces, a 0.51% decrease compared to the previous period.ExxonMobil (XOM.N) executives: LNG infrastructure has boosted market confidence, and the market is expected to rebalance quickly.On September 14th, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) released the international standard "Distributed Multi-Energy Systems Part 1: General Principles," led by my country.

During the Asian session, the GBP/USD pair attempts to reclaim the resistance level at 1.2300. Following a vertical correction, the Cable has recovered to near 1.2260 as the market anticipates that the absence of hawkish interest rate guidance from Federal Reserve (Fed) chair Jerome Powell while addressing the economy at the monetary policy meeting indicates that the Fed is close to ending its policy-tightening spell.

 

S&P500 futures have generated some gains in the Asian session following a decline on Wednesday as a result of Fed Powell's confirmation that the fight against intractable U.S. inflation will continue. Chairman of the Federal Reserve Jerome Powell has ruled out rate cuts in 2023, citing the difficulty of controlling inflation. In addition, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen's statement that the government "does not plan to insure all uninsured bank deposits" heightened fears of a banking sector collapse.

 

Following a recovery move, the US Dollar Index (DXY) has retreated on expectations that additional credit tightening to protect banking institutions will reduce overall demand, economic activity, and inflation. In the interim, the demand for US government bonds has increased as a result of expectations that US Janet Yellen will end further policy restrictions and reduce support for all bank deposits.

 

On the front of the United Kingdom, the Pound Sterling is likely to maintain its strength as the Bank of England (BoE) is scheduled to raise rates for the eleventh consecutive time. Governor Andrew Bailey of the Bank of England is expected to raise interest rates by 25 basis points (bp) in response to rising food and non-alcoholic beverage prices, as well as rising energy costs, which have contributed to inflation in the United Kingdom.

 

In the midst of global banking turmoil, the Bank of England's (BoE) interest rate decision will be difficult, as policymakers were divided over whether to raise rates further or maintain them at their present level.
