*The Central Bank of England made an unexpected move and decided to keep the interest rate constant at 5.25%. In the statements made regarding the decision, it was stated that the decision was made to keep inflation rates constant due to their recent decline, and that the tightening may continue depending on the situation of inflation pressures. Following the decision, GBPUSD parity dropped to 1.2234. This level was last seen 6 months ago.

*Makhlouf from the European Central Bank said in his statement: “An interest rate increase is possible in the next meeting, but if inflation remains the same, an increase may not be necessary. Interest rates may remain where they are for a long time. “There is very little chance of a rate cut before March.” He used his expressions.

*Kazakhs from the European Central Bank said in a statement: “The inflation rate is still very high. It is not yet clear whether we have reached peak interest rates. We are very pleased with the current level of rates. The increase in energy prices creates an upward risk on inflation. “The latest increase in energy prices is structural, not a short-term temporary increase.” He made his statements.
