  • Carney’s monetary policy to the rescue? Let’s be honest, probably not

    August 4, 2016

    As was expected by most market watchers, the Bank of England has reacted to the poor PMI and the weakening economic outlook since the referendum by taking several decisive actions today.  However, it is right to be sceptical about the success of these measures and question whether the Bank's actions will be suited to support [...]

  • Before the bell: What you need to know before the US market open

    August 4, 2016

    The Bank of England has cut interest rates and markets are loving it.  Here's what you need to know before the US market open at 2:30pm London time.  US stock futures are pointing up ahead of the open. The S&P is up by 0.15 per cent, the Nasdaq is up by 0.05 per cent, while [...]

  • Here’s how the market reacted to the Bank of England’s interest rate cut

    August 4, 2016

    Bank of England governor Mark Carney has gone above and beyond market expectations with a massive stimulus package and taken an axe to interest rates.  The Bank’s monetary policy committed (MPC) voted unanimously to lower interest rates to 0.25 per cent and extended its quantitative easing programme that will add £170bn of cash into the economy, warning growth in the [...]

  • Here’s what seven City analysts are saying about the Bank of England’s decision to cut interest rates

    August 4, 2016

    So that's it – after seven long years of interest rates becoming increasingly boring, today the Bank of England's monetary policy committee (MPC) voted to cut the base rate to 0.25 per cent. Here's how analysts have reacted: 1. "Oh, the irony" Calum Bennie, savings expert at Scottish Friendly:  “It seems for many savers chickens [...]

  • The Bank of England’s interest rate decision is so interesting, its website just went down

    August 4, 2016

    We know we've been waiting for interest rates to get interesting for a long time, but this is just ridiculous. After the Bank of England's monetary policy committee made the not-so-shock decision to cut interest rates, the Bank's website promptly crashed.  Users trying to find more information about the rate cut, or read today's quarterly inflation [...]

  • Markets poised for crunch interest rate move from Bank of England

    August 4, 2016

    Markets are standing by this morning for the Bank of England to take interest rates to a record low later today – and the nerves are showing. Sterling is falling ahead of the announcement and the FTSE 100 has also eased back as traders assess just how much fuel the Bank of England will throw onto the [...]

  • Economists call for Bank of England cash handouts to prop up economy

    August 4, 2016

    A group of economists has called on the Bank of England and the government to sanction direct cash handouts – so-called helicopter money – to stimulate the economy in the wake of the EU referendum. In a letter to the Guardian ahead of the Bank of England's crunch meeting today, economists from a number of universities [...]

  • Former chancellor George Osborne is responsible for turning the minimum wage into a political football

    August 4, 2016

    Last summer, then-chancellor George Osborne unveiled his first post-coalition, true-blue Budget – and with it, a big jump in the minimum wage. This somewhat confusing re-brand saw the minimum wage become the “National Living Wage” (NLW), which Osborne decided would jump from £6.50 an hour to £7.20, and keep rising to £9 in time for the [...]

  • Over to you, Mark II: City A.M. Shadow MPC votes for interest rate cut

    August 4, 2016

    City economists have called on Mark Carney to pull the trigger and cut interest rates for the first time in seven and a half years today. City A.M.’s Shadow monetary policy committee (MPC) voted five to four in favour of slashing rates to a new all-time low of 0.25 per cent. Futures markets indicate a [...]

  • A rate cut could wipe £1.4bn off operating profits at the UK’s top banks

    August 4, 2016

    ​Profits  will be decimated at the UK’s top banks if, as widely expected, the Bank of England cuts interest rates to a historic low of 0.25 per cent today. New analysis by the banking practice of consultants Simon-Kucher and Partners predicts that lower rates would wipe £1.4bn off the operating profits at the UK’s top [...]
