title: The Bank of England cut interest rates by 25 basis points to 4%, the lowest since March 2023, as it balances persistent inflation with mounting concerns over economic growth and the labor market.
description: "BOE’s is front-running a deeper economic slowdown. They’re not cutting because things are good BUT they’re cutting because the cracks are showing. BOE cut = policy makers globally may follow\n\n⚠️ BoE vote was recast after split! It probably NEVER happened. Taylor voted originally to cut 50 and then went 25. But it was finely balanced - but it shows that this was a HAWKISH 25bps cut. \nThis most likely rules out a September cut unless substantial miss in jobs/CPI in Aug $GBP\n\nSource: Viraj Patel 2VPatelFX, Ananta @AnantaSumantera"
