Watch out for an explosive move to the upside if that happens.
Are you sure about that? Let's say they don't cut (which is almost improbable) - does this mean they won't cut anymore? No, this means they just put it off, so it should send a sell signal quite clearly anyway.

Initially, I think there would be an explosive, reactive move to the upside, then, once the dust has settled, the price may come down, to perhaps even a lower level, as market participants punish the MPC for delaying the inevitable.

Of course, I am not sure that this exact scenario would play out. How can one be sure about how a hypothetical situation may play out? Your question makes no sense.

Yeah it will cause the FTSE to tank for sure.They would want to avoid that for sure.

cut or no cut it will be a whipsaw, and no direction after the release.

Broad expectations were for 50bps, with outside chance of 100bps. This is why we're seeing this initial rally in sterling, a kind of relief with respect to the limited impact on the currency's yield.

Initial rally?? It's rocketing to the Moon! Any expectations for landing soon?
