Predicted for 30. July 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
The BoE last held Bank Rate at 3.75% in the June 2026 MPC meeting with a 7-2 vote; two members dissented in favor of a rise to 4.00%. UK CPI stands at 2.8%, above the 2% target. A Reuters poll of 65 economists shows a majority expecting no change; ~40% anticipate at least one hike, some of which may materialize at the July meeting. Bank of America flagged July and September as potential hike meeting dates. A rate rise would require at least two members switching from hold. Own estimate for hold: ~64%.

Verdict: Hit
Die Bank of England hat beim MPC-Meeting am 30. Juli 2026 den Leitzins exakt wie vorhergesagt unverändert bei 3,75 % belassen. Das Abstimmungsergebnis war 6:3 für 'Hold' – drei Mitglieder (Huw Pill, Megan Greene, Catherine Mann) stimmten für eine Anhebung auf 4,00 %. Damit wurde die Vorhersage vollständig bestätigt. Interessant ist, dass die Mehrheit gegenüber dem Juni-Meeting schrumpfte (von 7:2 auf 6:3), was Analysten als 'hawkish hold' werteten, aber am Ergebnis (unverändert 3,75 %) nichts änderte.

The S&P 500 closed at 7,636.36 on 9 September 2026. Falling below 7,450 by month-end would require a 2.4% decline. Headwinds: Fed rate hike of 25bp on 16 September (CentralBank.Watch: 59% probability), August PPI above expectations (+5.4% YoY), Iran-Gulf risk premium. Stabilizing factors: hike largely priced in (Polymarket: 93% for zero 2026 cuts), Q2 earnings solid, no recession signals. Historically, a single 25bp September hike rarely causes a monthly decline above 2.5%.
