Interest rates to rise and rise

Interest rates are likely to rise again this week, when the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee meets on Thursday.

Economists and markets almost universally expect a hike from 4.25% to 4.5% – the highest level since 2008.

But Goldman Sachs has said inflationary pressures will force a rise to 5% in August.
