FTSE100 has already made up half of the initial overnight loss... and is back above it's level of June 15th... it's merely a blip.

and £ at the same level it was against the $ at the end of February this year. Again, hardly 'turmoil'.

there was commentry yesturday that put forward that the £ is (was) overvalued so this could be a Good Thing (tm) especially for export.

but if they were worried, a 0.25% or 0.5% would move £ a lot given the poor rates available elsewhere.

Interest rates may well stay low but that would not be an indication of anything positive.

There is going to be a generation of workers that have never had a pay rise...

Remember when ordinary people could expect a few % each year and their mortgages became incrementally more affordable...? Forget that.

"David Tinsley at UBS said there would be "a significant rise in economic uncertainty" and that the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) was expected to take action, including interest rate cuts and an extension of its quantitative easing programme.

"We expect the MPC will cut policy rates to zero and make further asset purchases, in the first instance of £50-75bn, not later than February 2017," he said."

Inflation will be up, interest rates to zero by the end of the summer, UK GDP growth prediction down from 1.5%-2.0% to 0.5%. EU growth also down by 0.5%. EU will be very keen to move the regional financial centre from London to somewhere within the EU, probably Frankfurt?
