No changes are expected. Rates would remain in the range of 4.25% – 4.50%.

The market gives an almost 100% probability that rates will not be touched.

Reason for the pause:

Although inflation has decreased somewhat, there are still concerns:

Trade tensions and tariffs

Instability in oil markets due to geopolitical conflicts

Expectations for rate cuts are likely to be lowered.

One cut is expected in 2025, possibly in September or December.

Market reaction:

No major movement in the markets is expected, as economic and political uncertainty persists.
