The surge was attributed to how the monetary policy committee voted for the keeping of the rate unchanged. It was expected that 2 members would vote for a rate hike and 7 members for keeping the rate unchanged. Instead 3 members wanted a hike and 6 voted to keep rate as it is.

Afterwards the Governor of the Bank of England Bailey hosted a press conference. However, his comments did not boost the value of the Pound more than the initial rate decision.
