One prediction market prices this story:

  • Bank of England — resolved “Yes” on 5 Nov 2026. The market resolves to Yes if the Bank of England raises its Bank Rate after the linked story is published and before January 1, 2027. The resolution depends on confirmation from the relevant Source Agency.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
