The British Pound is finding support as “the message is getting through” that the Bank of England is serious about keeping interest rates at 5.25% for longer than the market expects.
This is according to a new analysis from Bank of America, which finds that improved UK data outcomes are helping reinforce the Bank’s ‘higher for longer’ message.
“Higher for longer rates helped by data bounce & critical for further GBP recovery,” says Kamal Sharma, an analyst at Bank of America in London. “GBP should trade at top of reset range.”
