(Reuters) - Several major global banks raised their terminal rate forecasts for the Bank of England's (BoE) key interest rate after the central bank surprised with a larger-than-expected 50-basis-point (bps) hike to 5% in the June meeting.

Goldman over the weekend cut its terminal rate forecast to 5.75% form 6%, on slowing UK labour demand and cooling core inflation, while Deutsche Bank (ETR:DBKGn) went back to expecting three more quarter-point hikes, from an earlier forecast of 50 bps raise on Thursday and one more in September.
