Are we expecting the BOE Base Rate to drop to 3.75% on the 6th November 2025?

They know they might be forced to raise soon, they have cut too quickly in my view, there are far too many global inflationary pressures now.

They clearly don't read your wisdom on this forum, not a single member of the MPC voted for a hike in the last meeting.

I expect no more cuts this year. Cuts of up to 0.75% over 2026. Headline inflation will look bad until May next year when the April 2025 monthly increase of 1.2% drops out and is replaced by a lower number (unless employers' NI rises steeply again, or something like that).

They won`t hike unless inflation really takes off, that will be off the back of some future "unexpected" event, at the moment they must be dying to cut but can`t take the chance.
