Extended read
The Bank of England's decision to hold rates at 3.75% reflects a cautious stance as global inflation remains sticky, highlighted by the 4.2% print in the US. This has triggered a sell-off in the FTSE 100, which is particularly sensitive to the hawkish tone emanating from both the BoE and the Fed. While geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have eased, providing some relief to the Nikkei 225, the primary driver for Western markets remains the repricing of the terminal rate.
