Briefly

The Bank of England is anticipated to lower interest rates from 4.5% to 4.25% in response to a deteriorating economic outlook exacerbated by global trade tensions related to Donald Trump. Economists predict this move will provide relief to mortgage holders and potentially stimulate growth. Some analysts also suggest a more aggressive cut of 0.5% may be recommended. Reports indicate inflation has declined, supporting the argument that lowering rates could be beneficial to households and businesses during these challenging economic times.
