The pound fell to session lows against the dollar on Thursday after the minutes of the Bank of England’s August meeting showed that just one monetary policy committee member voted in favor of a rate hike this month. GBP/USD was down 0.6% to 1.5499 from around 1.5609 ahead of the report. The minutes show eight members were in favor of leaving the key interest rate at a record low of 0.5%. All nine members voted to stand pat on rates in July. Ian McCafferty was the lone dissenter, voting for a quarter percent hike in the benchmark rate for the first time in eight months. The minutes came as a surprise to market participants, who had expected two or possibly even three members of the MPC to back a rate increase this month. It was the first time the minutes were published at the same time as the monthly monetary policy decision.
