Data from the swaps market indicates that the Bank of England is now anticipated to raise interest rates by 35 basis points this year, a reduction from the previous forecast of 48 basis points.
This shift in sentiment coincides with a significant drop in oil prices, with Brent crude falling 3.6% to $87.14 per barrel.
