The Bank of England vote 6-2 to keep interest rates unchanged at their August Monetary Policy Committee meeting. The vote disappointed Sterling-bulls who had been betting that a 5-3 vote would be delivered which would suggest an interest rate rise in coming months.
Downgrades to the UK's economic growth profile were also issued, sending Pound Sterling lower against its key trading partners.
