Reuters poll: BOE only expected to raise rates in Q4 2018

Poll out on Reuters surveying 68 economists

• All respondents expect rates to remain at 0.50% on 14 Dec meeting
• Expects UK economy to grow 0.3% to 0.4% per quarter through to June 2019 (unchanged from November poll)
• EU-UK free trade agreement most likely outcome of Brexit talks
• Sees a 25% chance of a disorderly Brexit (compared with 30% in October poll)

Nothing that most of us wouldn't have guessed anyway. GBP/USD is still reeling higher from yesterday's move, but off the highs for the day - currently at 1.3530.
