Growth expectations up – tick
Unemployment down – tick and closing on range
Inflation back in target range – tick
Negative interest rates? – tick but should be a cross.

Not a good time to be geared to the hilt. 🙁

Is the joker card turning into a trump? We shall see….Perhaps not if wages don’t recover. Either way, uncomfortable times ahead for the over-geared I fear.

Not sure what they were supposed to be minding, however.

Is the implication that the BoE will increase interest rates the moment we hit the 7% unemployment rate?

They previously stated that the 7% barrier wasn’t an automatic trigger point for interest rates to rise.

Well the BOE have covered themselves with the idea of a labour market pentagon rather than the simple UN rate at 7% but most of the economic surprises are coming on the upside at the moment. We shall see.

They previously stated that the 7% barrier wasn’t an automatic trigger point for interest rates to rise.

Indeed, plus I don’t think the BoE are in any real rush to increase rates.

Which is wise, as I imagine we’d see the still rather fragile economy do a swift nose dive again!

So, what you are suggesting is that Mortgage rates might go up?

Erm…

That’s a very clever synopsis 🙄

Please, do come work for me.. 😆
