The Bank of England was widely expected to raise Bank Rate by 25 basis points to 4% on Thursday, its first move in this cycle, as UK CPI rose to 3.5% in September driven by fuel costs. Forecasts were expected to show inflation peaking above 4% in early 2027, and the vote split and guidance were seen as the key market drivers.
