# British Pound Forecast: BoE To Hold Despite Rising November Hike Risk

> Pantheon Macroeconomics expects the Bank of England to hold Bank Rate until end-2027, though stronger UK growth and an inflation peak near 3.7% keep a November hike possible. Sterling ended August up 0.32% against the dollar at 1.3534, below its 1.3675 monthly high. GDP grew 0.4% in Q2, above the BoE's forecast.

## Why it matters

Rate-hike risk supports sterling, but the mainly on-hold outlook limits the currency's impact on dollar-priced feed imports. The effect on commodity prices is minor.
