The Bank of England released its interest decision today. The BoE kept its interest rates unchanged at 0.5% and its asset purchase program unchanged at £375 billion.

Investors are awaiting the release of the minutes of the meeting.

Two external members of the nine-strong Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), Martin Weale and Ian McCafferty, voted last month to hike interest rate from 0.5% to 0.75%. That was the first split vote since Mark Carney became a Bank of England governor.
