According to the Wise Finance APP, a small group of aggressive traders in the UK options market have placed a big bet. They are betting that if the Bank of England ignores the inflation rate, which has risen to an 18-month high, and implements more interest rate cuts beyond current market pricing this year, the return on their huge bet could be over 1000%. If the Bank of England's benchmark interest rate drops to 3.5% this year, the wager linked to the average overnight sterling index rate could receive nearly 20 million in return from an initial outlay of around 1.5 million.
