This will certainly keep the BoE in a neutral to hawkish stance as cutting rates now would erase all the inflation progress since 2022.The agency also notes “prices are rising not just because of surging energy costs, but also due to increases in charges levied for a wide variety of goods and services, with price hikes often stoked by supply concerns”.While there’s a welcome resilience in economic activity, analysts note that the details of the survey suggest this could not be sustained without a resolution of the crisis in the Middle East.

💡 DMK Insight
The unexpected rise in the Manufacturing PMI to 53.6 signals stronger economic activity, which traders need to pay attention to. With the Composite PMI also beating expectations at 52.0, this data suggests resilience in the economy, likely keeping the Bank of England in a hawkish position. The notable increase in input prices, the highest in 28 years, adds pressure on the BoE to maintain or even tighten monetary policy. For traders, this could mean volatility in GBP pairs as market participants react to potential interest rate hikes. Watch for GBP/USD around key levels; a break above recent highs could indicate bullish momentum, while failure to hold could lead to a pullback. Keep an eye on upcoming economic releases that could further influence the BoE’s stance and market sentiment.
📮 Takeaway
Monitor GBP/USD closely; a break above recent highs could signal bullish momentum amid hawkish BoE expectations.
