Interest Rates down 1% Tomorrow?

Calls for a 1% cut tomorrow, I think it may happen.

    I can't see what a reduction in interest rates would acheive in the current climate (although I would welcome it as someone with a lifetime tracker mortgage). The banks still won't lend to each other and I doubt that savers would suffer as banks will still need to borrow from us and will be competing for our money. They wouldn't be likely to reduce rates at which they lend to business.

    Maybe someone would explain it to me.

    Put your money into high fixed rate account now, before they are gone. Like the AA at 7.21% fixed for 1 year.
