    Thanks for letting us know so urgently. Good work.

    The only thing that seems to have changed from a couple of years ago is that the imminent rate rise has moved from being a rolling 18 months in the future to being a rolling 3 months in the future.

    I've got to agree and think somethings going to give. If the Yanks are unable to raise IR's by just 0.25% without sending the Markets in a spiral decline there's a problem. It's like someone with a serious illness putting off seeing the Doctor month after month. When they eventually make an appointment they find their condition's Terminal :eek:

    Interesting isn't it? Gen was showing a while ago how the markets were pricing a later rate rise than being indicated by central banks.

    Looking like the markets have a better idea than the central banks. Of course the markets don't make the decision so plenty of scope for surprise.

    Well one of them had to be wrong and it's starting to look like the central banks.
