Bank of England Increases Rates by 0.25%

The Bank of England has increased rates by 0.25% to 4.25%, nd stated that more will be done if inflation persists.

I am bound to ask, given that inflation is over 10% exactly what signal do they need to increase rates more seriously?

I wonder if they know that their target for inflation is meant to be 2%?

Inflation Hits 10.4%

Inflation has risen from 10.1% to 10.4% against and expectation of it falling to 9.9%.

One of the key reasons for the rise was restaurants and hotels.

I'm hearing some heroic attempts to blame the jump in UK #inflation on #brexitfoodshortages, so here are the facts... (🧵)

1. The biggest contribution actually came from 'restaurants and hotels' (due to price increases for alcohol, not food). Food was still a big factor, but... pic.twitter.com/DE9AK1zQ1J

However, irrespective of where the root causes lie, it is clear that Bailey and his cronies at the Bank of England are woefully failing in their jobs. Remember, the Bank of England is meant to keep inflation at around/below 2%! 

It is high time that Bailey and his cronies are sacked!

UBS Buys Credit Suisse For $3.25BN

 

Credit Suisse has been taken over by UBS for $3.25BN, the shareholders (who did not get to vote about the deal) have taken a 70% haircut.

Central Banks have agreed $100BN credit line.

It has been a long time coming but, as this thread explains, the demise of Credit Suisse is hardly a surprise.

🧵THREAD: 1) Credit Suisse is no more.

Shenanigans Alert!

 

With the chaos surrounding SVB and the fall then 40% rise in Credit Suisse sending spasms around the global financial markets, I foresee shenanigans ahead.

It is looking likely that $2 trillion could be injected into the US banking system by the Federal Reserve's emergency loan program, and that central banks will call a halt to ever increasing rate rises (save today's ECB rate rise which is expected to be 0.5%).

Bailey Is Worse Than Worthless!

 

Bailey has made a complete clusterfuck of communicating the Bank of England's intentions, as can be seen from the very mixed headlines.

He, and his cronies on the MPC, have forgotten (if they ever knew) that central banks are meant to give clear guidance as to what their policies are and their expectations for the future. 

Bailey has achieved none of this, instead he confuses the markets leaving them to look at goat entrails to determine what may/may not be happening.

It is high time Bailey was sacked!
