Mixed signals
The majority/minority split tells you more than the decision. An 8–1 hold is more GBP-bullish than a 5–4 split, because the latter signals the committee is closer to a cut.
UK services inflation has historically been stickier than other G10 economies. Until it falls consistently, the BoE has less room to cut — which supports GBP relative to EUR and CHF.

Bank of England Governor Bailey has signaled a softening economy and easing inflation pressures, which is likely to lead to a more dovish stance from the central bank. Over the next few days, this could weaken the pound (GBPUSD) as expectations for higher interest rates fade, while UK government bond yields are expected to fall. There's also a chance that the FTSE 100 could rise, as a weaker pound boosts exports. If you're watching currencies, keep an eye on GBPUSD for potential declines.
