United Kingdom Interest Rate Decision 2026

will stay the same due to war type pressures

war - what is it good for? rising energy costs and inflationary pressure. rate stays the same.

unemployment is still increasing, growth is lackluster and the housing market is struggling. lots of reasons to cut rates without much worry. I hear about the short term oil shock from this conflict pushing up costs, but I fail to see how holding rates higher rebuilds gas terminals in Qatar or stops a conflict. oil shocks cause recessions again something you should cut interest rates into.

Another cut ahead.

inflation will be down and unemployment is already up, easy cut

Inflation dropped, unemployment risen. Looks like perfect conditions for a rate drop
