Context

BoE Governor Bailey's comments suggest a flexible approach to monetary policy amid inflation pressures, indicating that the Bank of England may not be in a rush to cut rates. This implies that the BoE is maintaining a hawkish stance as it balances growth and inflation, potentially keeping GBP supported and impacting fixed income markets as traders reassess rate trajectories.
