Bank of England kept its interest rate unchanged
The Bank of England released its interest rate decision today. The BoE's interest rate remained unchanged at 0.50% and asset purchase facility program at £375 billion. This decision was widely expected.
Britain's central bank released no statement. Investors will have to wait for the release of MPC votes on August, 20 to know if any MPC members voted in favour of hiking interest rate.
Market participant expect the BoE will raise its interest rate at the end of this year or in the early months in 2015.
