UPDATE 2-Sterling falls to 2-week lows after BoE vote split surprise
Sterling fell to a two-week low on Thursday after two Bank of England officials unexpectedly voted to cut interest rates this month and others said they would consider a cut if global and Brexit headwinds did not lift. The BoE said that its nine-member Monetary Policy Committee voted 7-2 to keep its key rate at 0.75%, in sharp contrast to forecasts in a Reuters poll for a unanimous decision. After falling almost 0.4% against the euro following the Bank of England's decision, the pound was flat against the euro at 86.14 pence.
