Predicted for 30. July 2026
·
Based on: Ongoing Event
The Bank of England held Bank Rate at 3.75% with a 7-2 MPC vote on 18 June 2026. For the 30 July meeting, SONIA futures price a 90.7% probability of a hold (centralbank.watch, as of 13 July 2026). A rate cut is priced at ~0%. Supporting factors: UK CPI remains well above 2.0% (open Cassandra prediction: UK CPI above 2.7% YoY by 22 July); weak retail data dampens consumption expectations but does not justify easing. The MPC awaits further evidence on wage inflation and services prices.

Verdict: Hit
Die Bank of England hat den Leitzins am 30. Juli 2026 wie vorhergesagt unverändert bei 3,75 % belassen. Der MPC stimmte mit 6:3 für eine Beibehaltung – drei Mitglieder (Huw Pill, Megan Greene, Catherine Mann) votierten für eine Erhöhung auf 4,0 %, was gegenüber Juni (7:2) eine hawkischere Zusammensetzung darstellt, aber das Ergebnis (keine Änderung) entspricht exakt der Vorhersage. Als Belastungsfaktor werden gestiegene und volatile Energiepreise infolge von Ereignissen im Nahen Osten genannt, die die Inflationsrisiken erhöhen.

Bitcoin at $78,136 (September 9, 2026). Kalshi markets assign ~83% probability of BTC touching $100,000 at any point in 2026. Polymarket gives BTC 68% odds to close above $90,000 by year-end.

Headwinds: active Fed hiking cycle (~3.75% current funds rate), 10yr yield at 4.86%.
