Dow Jones03-23
1401 GMT - The U.K. faces inflation risk due to energy supply constraints given the ongoing Middle East conflict, Charles Stanley's Oliver Faizallah says in a note. The Bank of England is unlikely to raise interest rates even with the threat of high inflation as the economic growth is weak, Faizallah adds. Charles Stanley expects the BOE to keep interest rates on hold at 3.75% in the coming months. Investors fully price in the possibility of the BOE raising interest rates twice in 2026, LSEG data show.
