    Racing certainty that they will stay the same IMO.
    They will not have enough data from the Xmas period to make a move.

    I overheard some analysts today saying they thought it would go down.

    The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. An ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.

    BTW - Moves are more likely in Feb, May, Aug and Nov when they do their quarterly inflation report as they have more info at their disposal.
    So Feb has got to be looking good for a cut.

    Only when the last tree has died,the last river has been poisoned,and the last fish has been caught,

    Probably someone with a vested interest, like an estate agent of manufacturing representative.
