Heads up for the BoE today, Thursday June 21 2018

  • Policy decision announcement is due at 1100GMT

And, a by the way, Governor Carney speaks later in the day (well, in the evening UK time, due at 2015GMT)

Via TD:

  • We expect the MPC to keep policy on hold and shy away from comments about market expectations of future rate hikes.
  • But in reaffirming its view that the 2018Q1 growth slowdown was temporary, markets might interpret that as a signal that an August hike is more likely.
  • We expect a 7-2 vote, but risks of a 6-3 vote should not be discounted.

An on hold decision is widely expected, TD not out of line here
