I would suggest to a considerably lesser degree than in the US.
I am not even sure value them at all.
I might add the Asian community does value them and respect them.
PS I do own a TV I just don’t pay the licence fee.
On the other hand I can’t remember the last time I turned it on!!

This from the FT shows how the BoE was the only major CB to raise rates pretty much as soon as inflation went above target, so I’ve always thought the complaints about the BoE being late we’re a bit strange.
Plenty to criticise Bailey for but not that imo.

While I’d have liked to have seen the Bank go further faster, this is a good point. A big hike would have been tricky to justify amid the Truss budget fiasco too.

The ratio is just as important as the speed so the point in my view is still completely null and void as the result for the public is the same.
Embedded inflation of a record-breaking kind.
To use any other failed Central Bank as a benchmark is not on. Andrew bailey does not get paid 500,000 a year to look good against Jerome Powell.
LDI is a glimpse into the inevitable.
Are the graphs off today on anyone’s FT? At closing mine all have a sharp dip

Is this why we have a wide spread rally today? Or is this just a rebound from last weeks dip?

Essentials are still high. Things like shelter, transportation, food at home, electricity, etc. I guess Fed will probably hike interest rate at least one more time.
That Sasha YouTube is saying inflation is over as well and that the cpi index is going to crash soon.
Have I missed the dip. Mmmmmm, wish I doubled my money on buying freetrade shares and then bought into a couple of stocks I have been watching a while, now everything’s rallied
If these percentages are correct, so I think it’s premature to say inflation is over, because gas/petrol/oil are the main reasons the CPI came down, and they could spike again. Who knows.
