UK VIEW
UK VIEW: Barclays have changed their BoE call and now expect the BoE to hike
rates by 25bps in August and for rates to remain at 0.75% "thereafter", versus
unchanged in 2018 previously. 
- "We believe recent policy statements, resilient data and marginally more
constructive Brexit negotiations will be sufficient to tilt the balance in
favour of a rate hike at the 2 August MPC meeting. The MPC seems to have
gathered sufficient evidence supporting such a move and may not need to wait for
Q2 GDP numbers (published a week later). We think data to be published between
now and the August MPC are unlikely to trigger a major reassessment, as the Bank
can look through one or two upsetting data points".
