    A wild guess says the official UK inflation print will fall tomorrow to 7-9% (from 10-11%) and this will catalyze a fall in savings rates by perhaps 0.1-0.5%.

    Rising inflation = rising savings rates.
    Falling inflation = falling savings rates.
    The IMF has said today that they expect the UK to avoid recession in 2023 with inflation remaining "stubbornly high", requiring interest rates to stay higher for longer. They're also predicting inflation won't return to 2% until mid-2025. It's a prediction, not a guarantee, but it suggests there's still some uncertainty out there about not only the extent of inflation, but also the longevity.
    IMF?

    hahahahahaha have they ever been right about anything ever?

    total captured by the globalists

    normally best to think the opposite of anything they say and youll be closer to the truth

    Not really a wild guess, you have provided a wide range  which actual inflation figure is quite likely to fall within.

    7.5-8.5%. I think is quite possible.  :)

    Do we think that a one month fall in inflation will make the BOE to start reversing interest rate rises they only implemented a month ago?

    They won’t be reversed it’s just whether they stay as they are or how long until another .25 rise will come it would take quite unexpected and consistent falls in inflation for rates t8 c9me down again, they will but not for a while

    If Inflation rate falls more than City/Economists expectations it is possible might send signal to markets, might cause reduction in fixed rates and visa vera.

    Not unless they want inflation to rise again.  Interest rates needs to be doubled to bring down inflation to the 2% target.  


    Rates need to be 9%+ for what is primarily cost-push inflation?
