Trader consensus on Polymarket reflects a 72% implied probability of a Bank of England Bank Rate hike in 2026, anchored by March 2026 CPI inflation rising to 3.3%—up from 3.0%—driven by Middle East conflict-spurred surges in motor fuels and heating oil prices. Despite the MPC's 8-1 vote on April 30 to hold rates at 3.75%, Chief Economist Huw Pill dissented for a 25 basis point increase, citing upside risks to persistence and second-round effects in pricing. Easing wage growth to 3.6% and unemployment dipping to 4.9% offer some offset amid loosening labor conditions, but revised projections point to CPI peaking above 3% in Q3-Q4. Watch the June 18 MPC meeting and upcoming April CPI data for shifts in monetary policy expectations.
