Cash ISA - fixed or variable interest?

Just asking for some advice really,
I currently have 10K in an ISA paying 5.25% variable. This has dropped from the 6.25% when I opened it 6 months ago.
In the best buy tables currently, the best variable rate ISA is 6.25%
The best 1 year fixed rate ISA is paying 5.25% (but it's called a 'bond' so I guess it means no withdrawals allowed).
So reckon its worth moving my money from the current 5.25% variable? If so, to where? The fixed 5.25% for one year, or the 6.25% variable?
I suppose I'm asking whether people think interest rates are likely to drop significantly in the near future/
Thanks in advance

I think people are expecting interest rates to drop quite a lot.
But don't take my word for it!0 -
