The Bank of England (BoE) will likely shy away from a bigger interest rate rise in August and instead stick to the more modest 25 basis point increases it has been delivering, but it is a very close call, per the latest Reuters poll of economists.
A slight majority in the July 13-25 Reuters poll - 29 of 54 economists - said the BoE will stick to 25 basis points at its next meeting on Aug. 4, to 1.50%. The remaining 25 forecast 50 basis points, which would put it more in line with its peers.
Among gilt-edged market makers, the narrow split was reversed. Of the 15 who responded, eight forecast a 50 basis point hike, while seven saw a 25 basis point hike.
A majority of respondents expect Bank Rate to end the year at 2.25% or higher, compared with 1.75% in the previous poll.
The poll gave a median 55% chance of a recession in the coming year, up sharply from 35% in the June poll. But that was based on a small sample of 11 respondents, with several declining to answer as they thought the recession was already here.
The poll suggested inflation, currently at a 40-year high of 9.4%, would likely peak in the fourth quarter, when it is expected to average 10.2% - five times the BoE's 2% target.

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
