The Bank of England raised its benchmark rate by 25 basis points to 4.00% in an 8–1 vote, marking its first increase since 2023. The pound was little changed against the euro, while Governor Andrew Bailey left open the possibility of further tightening as inflation is projected to approach 5% by mid-2027.
The rate decision and inflation outlook may affect sterling and the cost of imported goods, though the immediate currency move against the euro was small. No direct feed-market supply or demand change is reported.
After 129 past neutral macro events, Euro (USD per EUR) moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (45% higher; middle half -0.5% to +0.5%), and +0.1% over 20.
