Why are UK assets 'less attractive'?
Investors look for the best returns on their money. If the Bank of England isn't raising interest rates, the returns on things like UK government bonds or savings accounts might be lower compared to countries like the US, where rates are rising. This makes UK assets less appealing to international investors.
