LONDON, Nov 4 (Reuters) - Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey on Thursday said two labour market data releases between now and the December interest rate decision could shed light on the state of the economy, but he added this was not a hint of imminent action. “There will as a matter of fact be two official labour market data releases between now and our next meeting,” Bailey said at a news conference after the BoE held interest rates at 0.1% on Thursday. “But let me caution that by (saying) please do not therefore assume that I’m giving you a strong clue about anything, other than observing that there are two official labour market data releases between now and our next meeting in about six weeks’ time.” (Reporting by David Milliken and William Schomberg; Writing by Andy Bruce; Editing by Alison Williams)
