Fx Snapshot

FX was generally quiet in Asian and European session trade today with most of the pairs contained to narrow ranges as low volatility conditions persisted.

BOE Interest Rates

At its November policy meeting, the BoE’s Monetary Policy Committee is widely expected to raise the Bank Rate by 25bps to 0.5%, effectively reversing August 2016’s cut in the aftermath of the UK’s vote to leave the European Union.
BoE policymakers have been recently signalling action in the midst of above-target inflation and a tightening labour market, with the UK unemployment rate now below what the bank estimates to be the equilibrium rate.
