The US Fed have raised their key interest rate by 0.75%sevenhills said:Most are saying it will be .75 but with the USA putting theirs up this week, if they increase theirs by 1.0 then we may do the same.
Must be looking at a minimum BoE rate of 0.50% tomorrow.

0.5% is my guess."Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants."0

I note GBPUSD has just shot up by over 0.5% in the last hour, so someone seems to know something or is betting that they do.
So based on that I'd guess 0.75% rise.
edit: Though looking more closely the Euro has also shot up, so this is more a tale of the USD weakening, so probably tells us sod all. Oh well, who'd have guessed FX was hard? ;-)0 -
Looks like they've bottled it and gone for 0.5%Ex Sg27 (long forgotten log in details)Massive thank you to those on the long since defunct Matched Betting board.1
