Quick Glance: Bank of England to Maintain Interest Rates amid Inflation Signals
- The Bank of England is expected to keep interest rates unchanged as it looks for clearer signs that pay growth and services inflation are cooling enough to allow for a cut in borrowing costs.
- Financial markets are largely predicting that the BoE's benchmark rate will be held at 5.25 percent, marking the fifth consecutive meeting with no change.
- Steady monetary policy in the UK this week would align with major central banks like the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank, indicating that rate reductions will only come when inflation is consistently decreasing.
- The BoE remains cautious about weighting individual labor market releases and will wait for more data on new wage settlements before committing to rate cuts. Official inflation figures for February are expected to further decrease to 3.6 percent.

Quick Glance: IDF Orders Evacuation of Gaza's al-Shifa Hospital and Surroundings

- A spokesman for the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) wrote in Arabic on X, formerly Twitter, that everyone in the Rimal neighbourhood of Gaza City as well as everyone inside the al-Shifa Hospital should leave the area immediately to ensure their safety and proceed to the humanitarian zone in al-Mawasi.

- International observers and world leaders have increasingly been pressuring Israel to let more aid into Gaza, accusing the government of not doing enough, while Israel rejects the accusations.
