BOE: ###/VIEWS: Bank desk views on Thursday's BoE meeting - wide consensus on

Bank Rate hold at 0.75% / no QE change but some other comments of note:

- Rabobank: MPC in wait-and-see mode while putting emphasis on the risk of

further tightening should there be an inflationary no-deal Brexit. May 2019 the

first realistic opportunity for the MPC to raise Bank rate to 1.00%.

- TD: At most, risks of a softer H218 might get flagged, otherwise communication

focused on gradual rate hikes but heightened uncertainty over Brexit.

- NatWest: We expect unanimous policy votes [for no change] in September.

- RBC: Unlikely to deliver any changes on policy or guidance. MPC unlikely to

push against benign rate hike market pricing given potential Brexit risks.

- Barclays: Could be some questions about how the MPC intends to take into

account Brexit negotiations, but limited scope for market-moving revelations.

- Nomura: Expect decisions to keep rates and QE on hold to be unanimous (9-0),

not saying much new following decision to raise rates last month.

- Credit Suisse: BoE chief Carney agreeing to stay until Jan 2020 is welcome

news given the continuity that implies, but does not move the dial otherwise.
