18 September 2025

The bank of England has left interest rates unchanged at 4% as expected this morning.  The next meeting to discuss rates will not be until November just before the Autumn Statement of Rachel Reeves.  given this was in line with expectations there will be limited impact on the market.  There have been disappointing statments this morning in the retail sector from both Next and Pets at Home with the latter falling 12% to 195p, whilst the CEO has also left.  At this stage it is probably too early to buy in for a bounce in the share price which fell to 175p at one point.  One to watch though!
