Sterling Could Fall as BOE Unlikely to Lift Rates -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Jun 18

0804 GMT - Sterling could fall as Thursday's U.K. jobs data argue against the Bank of England raising interest rates ahead of its decision at 1100 GMT, ING's Chris Turner says in a note. Soft private sector wage growth and employment figures suggest the risk of second-round effects of high energy prices are low, he says. ING expects inflation to peak at 3.5% this year and the BOE to avoid lifting rates. Sterling also faces political headwinds, with a special election Thursday potentially resulting in a leadership challenge for Prime Minister Keir Starmer. ING expects sterling to fall to $1.3200 in coming weeks and the euro to rise to 0.8680-0.8700 pounds. The euro rises 0.1% to 0.8657 pounds. Sterling is flat against the dollar at $1.3293.
