He describes comments from Greene and Breeden as mixed but leaning towards a hawkish stance, while Taylor keeps a dovish view.\n\nGreene reiterated concerns about inflation. Breeden said she would have voted for a rate cut at last week\u2019s meeting if energy price spikes had not occurred, yet her broader tone stayed hawkish.\n\n

BoE Messaging Signals Mixed Bias<\/h3>\nTaylor was presented as the only MPC member to remain dovish last week. He said temporary energy shocks have limited implications for medium-term inflation and that the threshold for rate rises is high.\n\nPesole says a de-escalation scenario could allow more scope for dovish repricing in UK rate expectations, affecting the Pound curve. He keeps a baseline view that EUR\/GBP can move above 0.8700 in the coming weeks as UK rate expectations adjust lower.\n\nThe article notes it was produced with the help of an AI tool and reviewed by an editor. It also describes the FXStreet Insights Team as selecting market observations from experts and adding internal and external analyst input.\n\nBack in 2025, we were watching for a dovish turn from Bank of England members like Greene and Breeden, who had been quite hawkish. That anticipated shift is now getting closer as UK inflation has fallen considerably to 2.5% as of last month’s data, a sharp drop from the levels seen last year. This environment creates an opportunity as the market may be under-pricing the probability of rate cuts beginning this summer.\n\n

Implications For Eur Gbp Positioning<\/h3>\nThe main reason for the market’s hesitation is that UK wage growth remains sticky, still holding around 4.5%, which is a key concern for the central bank. However, the Bank of England’s vote split at the March 2026 meeting widened to 7-2 in favour of holding rates, with two members now actively voting for a cut. Historically, once two members dissent in favour of a cut, a full policy pivot tends to follow within the next two meetings.\n\nFor derivative traders, this suggests positioning for a weaker pound against the euro as UK rate expectations adjust lower. Buying EUR\/GBP call options with a strike price around 0.8700 and an expiry in June 2026 would be a direct way to play this view. This strategy provides a defined risk for a potentially sharp move higher in the currency pair if the BoE signals a rate cut is imminent.\n\nWe still see room for EUR\/GBP to move past 0.8700 in the coming weeks. The European Central Bank is also on a path to cut rates, but with Eurozone growth being more sluggish, their actions are largely expected by the market. The bigger potential for a surprise rests with the Bank of England, meaning the pound has more room to weaken as this dovish repricing unfolds.\n\nCreate your live VT Markets account<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0start trading<\/a>\u00a0now. <\/b>\n
