    It's not a direct affect, it's an indirect affect.


    Shoudn't that be "effect"?

    I hope Graham is pleased that his OP has ended up back on affect/effect after his recent visit to this educational experience.

    I used affect in the verb to influence as in 'BoE base rates indirectly affects the mortgage rates'

    Definition


    affect verb ( INFLUENCE )


    to have an influence on someone or something, or to cause them to change Both buildings were badly affected by the fire.
    The divorce affected every aspect of her life.
    It's a disease which affects mainly older people.
    I was deeply affected by the film (= It caused strong feelings in me).








    Is it time to deflect the issue onto spelling and grammer instead of the topic at hand.
    Some people seem not to want to debate the points I think.

    Well seeing as you're quoting the definitions, let's clear it up. It would seem that if you wanted "affect" you were using very poor grammar.

    why would it be the peak - are they going to fall from May onwards?



    If they fall from now on then the peak in approvals would have been March at 45k April fell 9% to 40k and we are now slightly back up to 42K.
