Interest rate rise this week a dead cert, say markets

Financial markets are betting that the Bank of England will bring in back-to-back interest rate rises for the first time since 2004.

Futures markets are now pricing in a 100% chance that the bank will increase its base rate by 0.25% to 0.5% when the monetary policy committee meets on Thursday.
