Other markets FAQ
What moves interest rate markets?
Interest rate market prices reflect where traders think interest rates will be in the near future. For example, if Short Sterling is at 95 then it means that the markets expect the Bank of England base rate to be at 5%.
So, anything that makes it more likely that a central bank will move interest rates will usually play out on its relevant market. That can include guidance by central banks, economic health, inflation, employment and business confidence.
