All eyes on Bank of England
Instruments to trade: EUR/GBP, GBP/USD, GBP/CAD, GBP/CHF
The BOE will announce its monetary policy and rate decision on Thursday at 14:00 MT time. Let’s find out how this report will impact the pound.

The UK is going through one of the toughest periods in its history as it should cope with two problems simultaneously: Brexit and the coronavirus pandemic.
- If the BOE hints at lower rates and its tone is pessimistic, the GBP will fall.
- If the BOE leaves everything unchanged and upgrades its forecasts, the GBP will rise.
