Hours before the Bank of England's policy announcement, investors are rapidly retracting bets on further interest rate cuts, reflecting a market now assigning about a 50% chance of a quarter-point reduction in February.

The BOE is anticipated to maintain rates at 4.75% after a period of gradual easing.
