Investors and traders are adjusting their expectations for rate cuts by central banks, particularly the Bank of England, based on recent inflation data. While overall CPI rates have reached 2%, services inflation remains high, leading to reduced probabilities of rate cuts in the near term. Market expectations vary for rate cuts in August, September, and beyond, with some uncertainty surrounding the timing and extent of potential cuts.
