UK BOE Interest Rate | July 14, 2016 | Currency News
UK BOE Interest Rate Decision will be the main focus as BOE officially addresses the world after Brexit. Any decision or policy changes announced today will be crucial for the Sterling, and likewise any indecision or no changes in the current policy. At any rate, I’d recommend to sit on the sidelines for this way and only trade if you have a high risk tolerance because market could turn on a dime…
7:00am (NY Time) UK BOE Interest Rate Forecast 0.25% Previous 0.50%
7:00am (NY Time) APT (Asset Purchasing Target) Forecast 375B Previous 375B
DEVIATION: N/A
7:00am (NY Time) UK Votes Rate (0-0-9), APT (0-0-9)
The Trade Plan
In the extremely unlikely event BOE cuts rate to 0.00%, we´ll sell GBP immediately on a spike trade. Because of the level of this surprise, I think we´ll see a strong trend change for GBP in the next few weeks, so we should SELL and keep a small portion for larger gains… On the other hand, if we get a surprise unchanged decision on the Official Bank Rate, then we should see some buying in the GBP. Although there is still a huge amount of uncertainty over the future of the country, we should see some demand but the key is to get in and out, if you are going to buy.
I´ll be trading this release using my Spike Trading Method, for more information read: https://www.currencynewstrading.com/how-to-get-started-with-news-trading/
I’d recommend to use the Recommended Pairs from above as they are based on my CSM, which should provide the best combination of currency pairs to trade based on better/worse news… of course, you can also trade the default pair: GBPUSD.

Outlook Score
Outlook score is derived from market sentiment, focus, and economic indicators for the currency. It represents the long-term trend of the currency and its market perception. In short, a strong Outlook Score means more long-term demand for the currency, and a weak Outlook Score is the opposite.
Definition
(From Wikipedia) BOE Interest Rate, or the official bank rate (also called the Bank of England base rate or BOEBR) is the interest rate that the Bank of England charges Banks for secured overnight lending. It is the British Government’s key interest rate for enacting monetary policy. It is more analogous to the US discount rate than to the Federal funds rate. The security for the lending can be any of a list of eligible securities (commonly Gilts) and are transacted as overnight repurchase agreements. When an announcement of the change in interest rates is made this is the rate the Bank of England is changing. Changes are recommended by the Monetary Policy Committee and enacted by the Governor.
