Right decision for now, but we expect the 'inevitable decline' soon, says Alan Hawkins.
The Monetary Policy Committee's decision to leave interest rates unchanged for a further month is no surprise but the right one for now, says the BHF Group.
But, it will soon be time for interest rates to begin their decline – possibly October and November.
The BHF Group's managing director said: "The currency traders have already priced a drop into their calculations and we are already seeing the effects of this on Sterling."
