[British inflation is stubborn, and high government bond yields support the pound] ⑴eToro global market analysts pointed out that the Bank of England's decision to keep interest rates unchanged reflects the challenges it faces between weak employment data and persistently high inflationary pressures. ⑵Analysts believe that premature interest rate cuts may exacerbate inflation expectations, while maintaining high interest rates for a long time will increase the risk of an economic downturn. ⑶For ordinary investors, this means that savings rates may remain stable in the short term, but mortgage rates are expected to remain high. ⑷As market expectations for the Bank of England's interest rate cuts weaken, UK government bond yields may remain at a high level, and the pound exchange rate will also be supported. ⑸In the stock market, defensive sectors such as consumer staples and utilities may be more resilient in the face of high inflation and weak wage growth.
