The BOE meeting: a ray of hope for the GBP?
The Bank of England will release its monetary policy summary and announce the interest rate on September 19, at 14:00 MT time.
The British pound continues to go down as political risks intensify.
A lot of political uncertainties are driving the British pound down. The main of them is, of course, connected with the question: "How long Theresa May will stay a prime minister?"
Her proposal to publish a new withdrawal agreement bill (WAB) this Friday was not welcomed by her colleagues. The new agreement suggests the possibility of the second referendum and the customs union.
Reportedly, Theresa May will face another non-confidence vote tomorrow, if she does not announce the date of her departure.
What may be a game changer today?
- Theresa May will meet with the ministers today;
- The Cabinet will try to find a solution on delivering Brexit no matter what.
