justanewbie Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 There is noticeably less backgound noise in the UK while the nation holds its breath waiting for the BoE MPC to utter its crucial dictat. In an hour's time, the phone lines will buzz, broadband connections will slow as the furore breaks forth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time to raise the rents. Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 We might even get a visit from the old bulls of HPC. Some I can remember: BBB Uwish Minty BTL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Abramovitch Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 And they will follow like sheep in a classice "sting" operation otherwise known as a Bull trap. Was it Gordon Brown who said "Never give a sucker an even break" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledgehead Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 (edited) We might even get a visit from the old bulls of HPC.Some I can remember: BBB Uwish Minty BTL <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Very unkiely. A rate cut is a non-event, factored in by one and all and seen no longer as the turning point of the rate cycle. That woul dbe like holding a party for the arrival of Friday. As for them returning on held rates, I don't remeber them being that willfully masochistic! Edited August 4, 2005 by Sledgehead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkG Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Well, this meeting will determine whether the MPC are really independent or just a bunch of Brown's muppets. If rates go down, a large fraction of my money will be leaving the UK in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisM Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I've noticed the pound seems to be having small gains against a lot of currencies. That seems strange behaviour for a currency about to experience a cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkG Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 The markets (i.e. the people with real money) are far less convinced of a cut than TTRTR is . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
