Mizuho analyst Evelyn Gomez-Lichty said markets are awaiting Thursday speeches
by Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey and MPC members Huw Pill, Megan Greene
and Claire Lombardelli for clues on a possible November rate hike. Investors are
expected to focus especially on Bailey and Lombardelli for any shift toward a
hawkish stance. Market pricing puts the probability of a November Bank Rate
increase at 83%.
