The market currently sits at 62.0%. The contract resolves to Yes if the Bank of England raises its Bank Rate at any point before December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. If no hike occurs, it waits until after that deadline to resolve to No. The official Bank of England website is the primary source, though credible reporting may also be used. The price responds to the arrival of new information. Any official announcement of a rate hike settles the market immediately. If no hike materialises, the contract remains open until Jan 1, 2027, keeping the probability sensitive to economic data and central bank signals that alter the perceived likelihood of a move before year-end.
