The stage has also been set to let the inflation target go.
BOE cannot control inflation though. With low wage growth, pressures are external.0 -
There are too many vested interest that want higher rates for their own ends, the BOE has done a good job as evidence by the facts.
Carney has cried wolf so many times and I think the the foreign exchange markets will soon become wise to him(They should have years ago). How many times has Carney dangled the carrot of a rate increase to cause sterling to rise, only to pull the rug out from under them? This tactic has worked time after time but sooner or later it won't and people will not fall for it anymore causing the pound to plummet. Then we will test the theory that was espoused after the brexit vote that sterling was overvalued when it his party with the dollar.0 -
So what are people’s predictions for rates now?0
