News summary

Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey has indicated the potential for more aggressive interest rate cuts if inflation remains controlled. The Bank of England had previously reduced rates from 5.25% to 5% in August, marking the first cut in over four years, and financial markets are now anticipating further reductions in the near future. Bailey's comments have led to a decrease in the value of the pound and increased market expectations for additional monetary policy loosening. However, geopolitical concerns, notably the Middle East conflict and its impact on oil prices, pose significant risks that the Bank is closely monitoring. The possibility of further rate cuts reflects a shift from Bailey's earlier gradualist approach, as inflationary pressures have been less persistent than initially feared. Investors now see a high probability of a rate cut in November and potentially another in December.
