Key quotes

"We do not expect any further details, nor even specific mention, of other policy options like negative rates or YCC."

"Equity market gyrations make the near-term GBP outlook uncertain as it remains highly sensitive to risk appetite. Sterling may benefit on a larger-than-expected package, but we expect disappointment may be punished. Within this, sentiment may define the scale of any such moves."
