[Analysis: Bank of England May Keep Rates Unchanged in the Short Term, Driving Short-Term Yields Lower] Jin10 News, May 13 – Matthew Amis from Aberdeen Investments stated in a report that the Bank of England might keep interest rates unchanged at 3.75% in the coming months, which could lead to a decline in short-term UK bond yields. He noted: 'If the Strait of Hormuz reopens in the coming weeks, the Bank of England will not raise rates, and the rate hike expectations already priced into short-term UK government bond yields will be eliminated, resulting in a drop in yields.' He added that investors are hoping the Middle East conflict can be resolved in the short term.
