FTSE 100 Seen Opening Slightly Higher Ahead of BOE Decision
0639 GMT - The FTSE 100 is seen opening tentatively higher ahead
of the Bank of England's interest-rate decision later Thursday,
rising 5 points, according to IG. The BOE is largely expected to
raise rates 50 basis points for the first time since 1995 in a
decision at 1100 GMT. "In June, the vote was a split decision, and
it is quite likely that this one could be too," CMC Markets analyst
Michael Hewson writes. A 50bp hike is the "very least" to be
expected but there's a high chance of a more aggressive move after
comments from several Federal Reserve officials boosted U.S. rate
rise expectations, he says. (renae.dyer@wsj.com)
