Financial markets widely expect the BoE to raise interest rates next week to 5.5% from 5.25%, but are split over whether that will mark the end of a tightening cycle which began in December 2021.Britain's unemployment rate rose to 4.3% in the three months to July, up from 4.2% in the second quarter and 3.5% in August 2022 - its lowest in nearly 50 years.
