But it came amid a split decision of hawks and doves, who are divided over the Bank’s monetary direction.Swati Dhingra and Alan Taylor struck out at the hawks with the former the bank rate should have already been lower to account for “lags” in its transmission to the real economy.However, Bailey played it cautious, stating: “Rather than cutting Bank Rate now, I would prefer to wait and see if the durability in disinflation is confirmed in upcoming economic developments this year.”The FTSE 100 jumped as it digested the news but failed to make it out of the red, ending the session on a xx per cent slump. It was a good day for bank shares though, after rumours of a tax on the sector appeared to be squashed.It follows fierce lobbying from bankers with the industry body warning London lender’s total tax rate rose 0.6 per cent to 46.4 per cent in 2025.This dwarfed that of overseas rivals and has spiked concerns about the City’s attractiveness on the global stage. In New York, the tax rate remained unchanged year-on-year at 27.9 per cent, almost two-thirds below that in London.Natwest closed the day up xx per cent to xxxp, whilst Lloyds was up xx per cent to xxxp.Here’s a summary of our top stories from yesterday:<ul> <li>Bank of England holds interest rates at four per cent amid Budget fears</li> </ul><ul> <li>Banks set to escape tax raid from Rachel Reeves after lobbying</li> </ul><ul> <li>Pub closures reach new high as hospitality braces for Budget</li> </ul><ul> <li>UK tech founders warn Reeves her Budget could derail London IPO plans</li> </ul><ul> <li>Construction industry sheds workers at steepest rate in five years</li> </ul> </div>

蘇格蘭皇家銀行

FTSE 100 指數在英格蘭銀行以 5-4 的分歧投票決定降息後略有下滑，行長安德魯·貝利強調了謹慎的重要性。儘管整體下滑，但在税務擔憂緩解後，納特威斯特銀行和勞埃德銀行等銀行股卻出現上漲。銀行業的税率上升至 46.4%，引發了與紐約 27.9% 的税率相比的競爭力擔憂。其他消息包括酒吧關閉數量上升，以及英國科技創始人對即將到來的預算可能對 IPO 計劃產生影響的警告
