Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
On 17 September the Bank of England held Bank Rate at 3.75% by a 6–3 vote, but several hold voters said the case for tightening was building. The Bank expects inflation near 3.75% in Q4 and slightly above 4% in early 2027, driven by energy. August CPI rose to 3.1% while core CPI stayed at 2.6% and services inflation at 3.4%. Two-year gilt yields rose to 4.86%, three-month OIS to 3.90% and three-month bill yields to 4.01%. QT will unwind £368bn of gilts at about £46bn a year through 2034.

Key arguments
- The MPC held Bank Rate at 3.75% on 17 September by a 6–3 vote, with Pill, Greene and Mann again favouring an immediate increase to 4.00%; several hold voters saw the case for tightening building.
- The Bank expects inflation near 3.75% in Q4 and slightly above 4% in early 2027, with almost all deterioration since July attributed to oil, gas and refined-product prices.
- August CPI rose to 3.1% from 2.9%, but core CPI held at 2.6% and services inflation at 3.4%, keeping the distinction between louder headline and still-moderating domestic pressure.
- The Bank will unwind the remaining £368bn of gilts held for monetary policy purposes at an average £46bn a year through 2034, including £20bn of annual sales.
Key numbers
- Bank Rate after 17 September vote
- 3.75% (6–3 hold)
- BoE inflation forecast, Q4 and early 2027
- ~3.75% and slightly above 4%
- August CPI, core CPI, services inflation
- 3.1%, 2.6%, 3.4%
- Two-year gilt yield by 29 September
- 4.86% (from 4.41%)
- Gilt unwind pace for remaining £368bn
- ~£46bn/yr through 2034, incl. £20bn sales
Main risks
- The MPC may conclude that waiting for definitive evidence that energy costs have spread into wages and prices means waiting too long, raising the probability of an earlier or larger Bank Rate increase; the vote is already 6–3 with three members preferring 4.00%.
- Higher inflation compensation, global duration pressure, fiscal concerns and gilt supply may continue to push longer yields higher and make the gilt market more demanding irrespective of the Bank Rate path.
- The 28 October Budget could add pressure to an already demanding gilt calendar if financing remits expand, given borrowing in the first five months of the fiscal year was £8.1bn above the OBR's March profile; investors will watch whether fiscal headroom is restored and how new commitments are funded.
Corresponding source evidence
Several members who voted to hold indicated that the case for tightening was building as elevated energy prices increased the risk of broader inflation pressures.
The Bank now expects inflation to reach approximately 3.75% in the fourth quarter and slightly exceed 4% in early 2027, with almost all the deterioration since July attributable to oil, gas and refined-product prices.
· 2027The remaining £368 billion of gilts held for monetary policy purposes will be unwound at an average pace of £46 billion annually through 2034, including £20 billion of yearly sales, while £120 billion of long-dated gilts will remain to support banknote issuance.
