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.

ONS releases UK headline CPI for June 2026 on July 22 at 7:00 AM GMT. The prior reading (May 2026) was 2.8% YoY (ONS). Given structurally elevated services inflation — consensus for UK Services CPI June is ≥3.5% — and still-strong wage dynamics, the headline rate is expected to rise above 3.0% in June. The Bank of England cut rates to 3.75% without declaring inflation beaten. No Polymarket market found.
