......"The next Monetary Policy Committee decision is expected in early May before five more meetings are scheduled this year.

Some economists, including rate-setter Swati Dhingra, have said that the sweeping tariffs may have disinflationary effects on goods in the UK.

James Smith, an economist at ING, said previous interest rate cut predictions were “conservative” as markets were now considering how the Bank may react to slower growth brought by tariffs and Labour’s tax policies. "

“There will be more focus on growth as a result of this,” Smith told City AM.

"Markets are betting that the Bank of England will make up to four interest rate cuts this year, double what had been predicted in late March.

President Trump’s tariffs are set to drag UK growth back by up to one percentage point, according to various forecasters, while their impacts on inflation remain ambiguous, leading investors to re-evaluate their predictions for Bank of England interest rate cuts.

But investors across the City of London priced in as much as 88 base points in cuts over Monday, suggesting that there will be four Bank of England interest rate reductions this year.

The Bank’s current inflation rate projection stands at a peak of 3.75 per cent in 2025. It held interest rates at 4.5 per cent in March.".................city am.
