The Bank might have cut rates today..but don’t get carried away thinking there will be rapid lowering. The Bank’s minutes reveal a lot of “caution” about risks to the economy including rising inflation

The Bank’s gold vaults are running lower than normal as traders pile into the safe asset. Dave Ramsden at the Bank on “physical” constraints of gold trading: his path to work was trickier than normal “because a lorry was in the bullion yard” - A different commute than most!

This was spot on - Catherine Mann went into activist mode & was one of 2 members Bank MPC to vote for an even bigger 0.5 per cent rate cut amid concerns that the economy is already weakening. But don’t get carried away - Bank Governor says “gradual and careful” approach
A beautiful day to be locked in the @bankofengland vaults for a few hours. Markets nailed on for a third rate cut from 4.75% to 4.5%. And I wouldn’t be surprised if even super hawks like Catherine Mann vote for lowering amid economy slowdown fears

A guy held the train doors for me as I was sprinting down the platform this morning AND I was given a free coffee from my regular spot - A double lucky boost to start the day! Might buy a lottery ticket.

Trump’s tariff threats on Canada & Mexico risks heavy blow for Diageo’s Canadian whisky and tequila business. Last night Trump gave a 30 day pause on tariffs. Diageo says there is too much geopolitical uncertainty to give medium term profit guidance on its recovery
