MarkG Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Another rise in February would surprise me, but wouldn't shock me anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Lets bet what CPI data is first (data comes out on Tuesday). That will set off another bearish day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smell the Fear Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Betfair is only offering 2/1 on a feb rise after today's shock! Not worth the risk at that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOUSEHUNTER Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 All those figures and facts .....................................and the economists still get it all wrong...........silly billys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nic Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 (edited) Betfair odds actually suggest about 30% chance of a rise in February, which is a lot higher than the January odds were. Also, short sterling futures took a jump today and are suggesting another rise very soon. Looks like this rise has given the message that there are more to come. Could well be as soon as next month!

Flat Bear Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 CPI = 3.1%Rates up Feb = 5.5% I'll wager tuppence. D It is possible I think Merv would actually be happy if this happened as it would untie his hands I think that the longer term inflation outlook is starting to look much worse than previous which has frightened them even more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachel Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 According to Stuart Law,managing director of property investent specialist Assetz (!) "We expect that wage inflation will be kept under control at 4% or less, while inflation is expected to drop back down to 2% by the end of the year. This, combined wiht falling energy pries, confirms that the eonomy is on an even keel and we are likely to the the Bank holding or lowering rates in the coming months" VI? lol!

If only the public sector looked at CPI , but they don't they use RPI to bargain with .RPI is already at 3.9% and should go higher as it includes IR's , looks like the spiral could begin here as I can't see the unions settling for 2% which is what Gordo is after.
