16:12 26Feb09: (GBP) BoE rate poll


(GBP) A new Reuters poll of UK economists finds 54 of 62 expecting a BoE rate
cut on Mar 5, 46 of whom predict a 50bps cut. Then the consensus has the 0.50%
Bank rate holding through June 2010. Majority say BoE asset purchases will
amount to more than GBP60bn and will be effective in stimulating the economy.

Will this be good enough to push the £ higher? At the moment nothing seems to make much sense and the $ is doing a very good job of holding it's own.

I've only got 4 weeks left until we go to California and I am really hoping that we will get a lot more for our £ once we get there.

So do I, I'm sure that it will go higher as it seems a bit stuck at the mo but I'm very optimistic that by mid March it will be a lot higher than it is now.
