Markets expect the Bank of England to announce its 13th successive rate hike around noon, with the bank under pressure to bring down consumer price inflation, which remained at 8.7 percent in May.

Traders are currently split on whether the BoE will opt for a 25 bps hike to 4.75 percent or a larger 50 bps hike to 5 percent.

The FTSE 100 opens at 8am. Among the companies with reports and trade updates today are Whitbread, DS Smith and Speedy Hire. Read the Business Live blog of Thursday 22 June below.
