This was the article btw - skewed for a supportive argument of the MPC meeting but anyway, worth a read for anyone I think as it gives a great summery

Interesting regarding Thursday rate rise if I’m honest. I don’t get how we’re looking at this 80% odd likelihood of a rate rise coming whilst economists are split on the effect it’ll have. The effect is surely the reason for the action... 

saw this is city am “While most City observers now think rates will rise, economists are split as to whether hiking borrowing costs amid a weak economy – and shortly before the biggest political upheaval in 40 years – is the right course to take.”

if it isn’t the right course then why have such a solid expectation or a rate rise? 

The figures which have been coming out recently haven’t really supported this in all honesty? All the figures last week aswell... I thought we’d be more split.

oil no longer in that pull back after the biggest draw since 2016 apparently! But there have been bigger pull backs immediately and we're actually lower than we were at the start...

@owenb1979 When it says Wednesday that’s the day at market close they take them out The index price, but the individual stock is done on the Thursday. Have a browse on google and somewhere it’ll say  the stock names.

Love the ‘fluid view’ in the forum section. Easy to pick the things you’re interested it, omit the stuff you’re not keen on, and sort in chronological order so you’re always pushed the lasted most important content. Good one!

As one reddit economist comically put regarding the Trump tariff... "my excitement for the data generated by these policies exceeds my fear of the consequences"
