As the Bank of England (BoE), prepares to announce their November interest rate decisions, the British pound will be put to a test. The outcome could significantly influence the pound's value, but several factors come into play.
The pound’s value may not be affected if the Monetary Policy Committee votes to maintain the interest rate. If there are no major changes to the inflation and growth predictions, then the pound will likely remain stable. This decision is in line with the expectations of the market and will not cause any significant changes to financial markets.
The Monetary Policy Report will provide a forecast of the future monetary policy.
