The Bank of England has voted unanimously to keep interest rates on hold at 0.75 per cent in its most recent policy meeting. Although it set a dovish tone when it signalled that it might look to cut rates if we see continued Brexit uncertainty and weak global growth, it also reiterated a commitment to hike rates in the event that an orderly exit from the EU is eventually achieved. Government debt strengthened modestly on the news, while sterling weakened as a result of the overall dovish tone of the meeting.
