JP Morgan revises BoE rate increase forecast as Bailey highlights potential market dangers
JP Morgan Revises Bank of England Rate Forecast
JP Morgan has lowered its projection for Bank of England interest rate hikes in 2026, following remarks from Governor Andrew Bailey that indicated financial markets may be anticipating more aggressive monetary tightening than necessary. The American financial institution now predicts a single rate increase next year, a shift from its previous expectation of two hikes scheduled for April and July.
This updated forecast reflects ongoing deliberations among policymakers, who are assessing the impact of surging energy costs and heightened uncertainty stemming from the conflict involving Iran. In an interview with Reuters, Bailey expressed a cautious stance, challenging the prevailing market view that multiple rate rises are imminent.

Excluding Iran, the crude oil flow in the Gulf region in September has recovered to over 81% of pre-war levels, mainly driven by the recovery of Saudi exports.
