Predicted for 30. July 2026
·
Based on: Ongoing Event
The BoE held at 3.75% on June 18, 2026, citing ongoing Middle East uncertainty. For the MPC meeting on July 30, hold expectations dominate: Oxford Economics forecasts no change 'for the rest of 2026 and well into 2027'. Counter-view: BofA sees a hike in July or September if UK services CPI (June data, released July 22) remains elevated. This platform predicts UK services CPI ≥3.5% — a potential hike catalyst, but likely just below the BoE's threshold. Net: hold at 62% probability.

Verdict: Hit
Die Bank of England hielt den Leitzins am 30. Juli 2026 unverändert bei 3,75 %. Das MPC stimmte mit 6:3 für keine Änderung (drei Mitglieder – Pill, Greene, Mann – votierten für eine Anhebung auf 4,0 %). Die Vorhersage trat damit exakt ein. Bemerkenswert: Die Entscheidung wurde als 'hawkish hold' gewertet, da die Zahl der Hike-Befürworter von zwei auf drei stieg, was auf weiterhin erhöhten Inflationsdruck hindeutet.

The S&P 500 closed at 7,636.36 on 9 September 2026. Falling below 7,450 by month-end would require a 2.4% decline. Headwinds: Fed rate hike of 25bp on 16 September (CentralBank.Watch: 59% probability), August PPI above expectations (+5.4% YoY), Iran-Gulf risk premium. Stabilizing factors: hike largely priced in (Polymarket: 93% for zero 2026 cuts), Q2 earnings solid, no recession signals. Historically, a single 25bp September hike rarely causes a monthly decline above 2.5%.
