The pair rose despite the BoE leaving interest rates on hold, but warned that rates could stay high for longer. UK services PMI was also upwardly revised to 49.5 from the preliminary reading of 49.2.<\/p>\n
Today attention will be on a speech by BoE chief economist Huw Pill for further clues over the outlook for the UK economy and interest rates.<\/p>\n
