BoE Release Quarterly Inflation Report
14.02.06
The Bank of England released its quarterly inflation report today and highlighted that interest rates will probably still have to rise one more time to keep inflation on track to hit its 2.0% target rate. The Bank predicts that CPI inflation would clearly overshoot the 2.0% target if interest rates were held at their current 5.25%. This gave Sterling some much needed support after PPI, CPI and Average Earnings all failed to meet analyst’s expectations this week.
