Interest rates have been held at 4.5 per cent by the Bank of England amid mounting global uncertainty and growing trade tensions sparked by Donald Trump.
The interest rate is still expected to fall further over the remainder of the year, although only two further cuts are now expected across 2025.
A significant portion of the uncertainty is due to Donald Trump's trade tariffs, which have created unrest in industries facing rising costs.
