In not following the Fed, the BOE is set to be one of the herd

Live Mint  

The BOE looks set to do something it hasn’t often done in the past: diverging from the Federal Reserve. Investors expect the U.K.’s central bank to lower borrowing costs for a third time Thursday, and signal that it is likely to cut again. Last week, the Bank of Canada and the European Central Bank announced rate cuts hours before and the day after the Fed’s decision to leave borrowing costs on hold, respectively. Over previous weeks, the central banks of Peru, Turkey, Indonesia and Israel also cut their key rates as it became increasingly likely that the Fed would decline to do so at last week’s meeting, and possibly for a number of months. South Africa’s central bank was explicit about the context in which it decided to lower borrowing costs, opening its policy statement with a summary of where it sees the Fed going.
