The Bank of England takes its rate decision next Thursday. Economists at Commerzbank expect a hesitant BoE to weigh on the British Pound.

The situation for Sterling remains difficult

“Even if the BoE takes a 25 basis points rate step next week it is likely to still seem hesitant. This would apply even more so if inflation data were to surprise on the upside.”

“We stick to our view and expect Sterling to principally trend weaker against the Euro over the coming months.”
