Predicted for 30. July 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
The BoE's next MPC decision is scheduled for July 30, 2026. The current base rate is 3.75%. Market pricing implies no rate move for the rest of 2026; Oxford Economics expects a hold well into 2027. Context: UK CPI was 2.8% in May 2026, driven by Middle East energy price shocks preventing early easing. BoE analysis notes risks 'tilted towards a rise.' HomeOwners Alliance and Morningstar Global see no impulse for a change. No Polymarket odds found; market consensus for a hold is very strong.

Verdict: Hit
Die Bank of England hat am 30. Juli 2026 den Leitzins exakt wie vorhergesagt bei 3,75 % belassen. Das MPC stimmte 6-3 für eine Beibehaltung; die drei Gegenstimmen (Pill, Greene, Mann) plädierten sogar für eine Erhöhung auf 4,0 %, nicht für eine Senkung. Der CPI lag laut BoE bei 2,6 %, die Projektion für Q4 2026 bei ca. 3,2 %, getrieben durch anhaltend hohe Energiepreise infolge des Nahost-Konflikts – konsistent mit der Vorhersagebegründung.

The S&P 500 dropped 4.36% on 5 November 2026 to 7,353.73 — its steepest one-day fall since April 2025 — triggered by an AI-chip selloff that wiped out the post-midterm rally (4 November: +1.72% to 7,698.80). Closing above 7,500 by 13 November requires a +2.0% recovery over 6 trading sessions. Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan maintain year-end targets of 7,400–8,100; S&P 500 EPS growth consensus for 2026 stands at +14% YoY. Downside risks: elevated Treasury yields, persistent AI capex uncertainty. No specific Polymarket/Kalshi market found for this level.

The BLS releases October 2026 CPI on November 10, 2026 at 8:30 AM ET. Nowflation forecasts 3.82 percent YoY; the Cleveland Fed nowcasting model forecasts 3.74 percent — both clearly above the 3.7 percent threshold. The September 2026 prior reading was exactly 3.7 percent. Rising energy prices (Strait of Hormuz effectively closed since mid-October) and stable core inflation support a further uptick. An existing open platform prediction covers CPI >3.5%; this forecast raises the bar by 20 basis points. A miss would primarily require unexpected weakness in the energy component or food prices.

Gold (XAU/USD) rose to $4,134.83 on 5 November 2026 — driven by the Democratic midterm sweep (higher fiscal spending expected) and persistent inflation pressure. Kalshi's Dec 31 settlement market shows ~32% probability for a close above $4,400 and ~43% for above $4,300. Reaching the $4,400 year-end target would require a further ~6.4% gain. Supporting factors: fiscal expansion, geopolitical risks, structurally high central bank demand; UBS forecasts $4,800, JPMorgan $6,000 at year-end. Headwind: hawkish Fed stance (Polymarket: 72.5% for a December rate hike to 4.00–4.25%). Prediction anchors on Kalshi's ~32% for >$4,400.
