FTSE 100 Contracts for Differences

CFD orders regarding the FTSE 100

One of the biggest concerns is the possibility of interest rate hikes by the Bank of England at the conclusion of the two-day meeting on Thursday.

"The Bank of England raising interest rates may still be unlikely to happen but it has depressed the market this morning and people are worrying about it," a trader said.
