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.

I think he's saying that those who wear body armour at trail centres had better watch out, summer is on its way.

I assumed this was a reminder to those playing with the number 9 or above on a rugby pitch.

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.

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