According to CoinMeta, Aviva Investors, the head of interest rates at institution Ed Hutchings, stated that the Bank of England's decision to maintain interest rates unchanged this time was completely in line with expectations, but there is still a great deal of uncertainty among the members of the future Monetary Policy Committee. He pointed out that although recent employment and inflation data have brought some positive signals, investors and the committee are likely to continue to focus on the risks facing the economic outlook in the future, especially inflation risks. He added that he expects the Monetary Policy Committee to continue to adopt a wait-and-see attitude to assess the domestic situation in the UK as well as the developments in the Middle East.
