4:30am NY Time UK MPC Meeting Minutes Forecast 0-0-9 Previous 0-0-9
ACTION: GBP/USD N/A
MPC, Monetary Policy Committee, from Bank of England (BOE) will be releasing their meeting minutes over the Rate Decision meeting held 2 weeks ago along with the actual vote count over the rate decision and the vote count over the increase in its APF program. If you recall, MPC decided leave the interested rate unchanged but surprised the market by only increasing its QE program by 25 Billion Pound against analysts estimate of 50 Billion Pound Increase. This action provided an immediate short-term rally for the British Pound as traders and speculators both wonder the reasons to this surprisingly strong outlook for the GBP from BOE.

BOC releases a quarterly Monetary Policy Report providing direction over its monetary policy and future interest rate decisions. This report is probably not tradable unless BOC surprises the market by deviating from its recent statement during the interest rate decision just a week ago.
