This market will resolve to “Yes” if the Bank of England's Bank Rate is increased at any point between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. This market may not resolve to "No" until December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET has passed. The primary resolution source for this market will be the official website of the Bank of England (https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/), however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Trader consensus on Polymarket reflects a 72% implied probability of a Bank of England rate hike in 2026, driven by March 2026 CPI inflation accelerating to 3.3% from 3.0%, fueled by energy and fuel price surges amid Middle East conflict escalation. The Monetary Policy Committee held Bank Rate steady at 3.75% on April 30 with an 8-1 vote, Chief Economist Huw Pill dissenting in favor of a 25 basis point increase to counter persistent price pressures above the 2% target. Geopolitical risks have reversed prior rate-cut expectations, with traders now pricing in potential tightening via the June 18 MPC meeting or later, as upcoming April CPI data looms critical for policy shifts.
