Maybe we are achieving a re-balance of the economy, good news if it is, or is it just stock building?

The purchasing managers' index for manufacturing is a welcome antidote to recent gloom, rising to a record 62 from an upward-revised 58.7 in December. Though there are also inflationary pressures affecting the sector (input costs rising at a record high), this suggests industry is firing on all cylinders, with new orders and employment also rising at record rates.

putting that into perspective manufacturing is approx 14% of the economy whereas service/consumption is over 60%, rising prices(increasing taxes etc) will kill discretionary spending, the largest part of the economy.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature.

Don't agree with that, interest rates will not be going up unless Georgie Porgie cancels some of those cuts.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.
