Citi said its monthly survey conducted by market research company YouGov showed public expectations for inflation in 12 months‘ time eased to 5.2% in April from 5.4% in March and expectations for five to 10 years ahead fell to 3.6% from 3.7%. The BoE is widely expected to raise borrowing costs again on May 11 after its monthly monetary policy meeting, with inflation running at five times its 2% target. Investors are putting a 92% probability on a 25 basis-point increase in Bank Rate to 4.5% and roughly 50 chances of hitting 5% by August.
