UK BOE Interest Rate Decision will probably not surprise the market today as recent comments by Carney has been clear that the MPC will not hike rates probably until the end of the year…

The Trade Plan

In the extremely unlikely event BOE hikes rate to 0.75%, we´ll buy GBP immediately on a spike trade. Because of the level of this surprise, I think we´ll see a strong trend change for GBP in the next few weeks, so we should BUY and keep a small portion for larger gains… On the other hand, if we get a surprise increase to 400B or more in the APT or better known as quantitative easing, it would send a bearish signal to the market, and we should SELL GBP in the short-term; however, further stimulus is likely to help GBP in the long run, so if you missed the original SELL entry, I’d suggest to BUY GBP instead at support… There is also a possibility for a third scenario, BOE cutting rates to 0.25%, and if that’s the case, it should be a SELL on GBP.

Good Luck....!!!
