Bank of England interest rate meeting in focus for 'one and done' clues

Policymakers in England are expected to keep interest rates on hold next week after November's milestone hike amid increasing speculation it was a "one and done" move.

The Bank of England voted 7-2 to increase rates for the first time in a decade last month, with a rise from 0.25% to 0.5% as it sought to cool surging inflation.
