The pound hits a three-week low following statements from the Bank of England suggesting a potential rate cut due to a slowing jobs market.
Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey hints at the possibility of larger interest rate cuts if the jobs market deteriorates rapidly.
Bailey expresses belief in a downward path for interest rates but remains cautious, emphasizing the need for a gradual and careful approach.
Concerns arise regarding slack in the economy, potential adjustments in employment, hours, and pay rises influenced by factors like the National Insurance Contributions (NICs) change.
