(Bloomberg) -- Investors pared bets on monetary easing from the Bank of England and no longer fully price two interest-rate cuts this year as global markets adjust expectations after the US inflation data.
Money markets trimmed BOE rate-cut pricing for a second day, pricing 49 basis points of easing in 2024, the lowest since October. The first full quarter-point reduction is priced by September
