Bank of England (BoE) holds Bank Rate unchanged at 3.75% on July 30, 2026 (confirmed by MPC press release)

Pending ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 21. July 2026 · Predicted for 30. July 2026 · Based on: Historical Cycle

Probability

80%

BoE MPC voted 7-2 to hold at 3.75% in June 2026, with two members dissenting for a hike to 4.00%. UK CPI: ~2.8%; services inflation: stubborn 3.7%. OIS markets imply ~80% probability of a hold on July 30 per economist consensus. Since the US-Iran ceasefire (June 2026), energy prices eased slightly, but the Hormuz crisis keeps oil elevated and creates indirect inflation pressure. Reuters economist poll: majority expect hold for rest of 2026, ~40% see at least one hike. A rate cut to 3.50% appears ruled out given the data. Base consensus: Hold.
