The Bank of England's Martin Weale, reported in the UK's telegraph says

  • A surprise "pause in wage growth"
  • Further falls in commodity prices

Has made the need for tighter policy "slightly less immediate".

  • "The factors pushing down on inflation have become a bit more prolonged"

Weale is considered one of the more 'hawkish' of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) members, a change in view from him to more dovish is significant and should weigh on GBP.
