BoE voted 7-2 Not To Cut Rates, Jobless Claims Fall for 17th Month
The BoE voted 7-2 not to cut rates as John Gieve and eternal dove David Blanchflower voted for a rate cut.The majority said that the balance of risks didn’t warrant another cut, fearing that it would signal that inflation wasn’t a focus of their attention. The minority Gieve and Blanchflower, voted in favor of further reductions, on fears that current market turmoil increased the downside risks to the economy. Meanwhile, jobless claims fell for the 17th month, but less than expected. The pound fell on the news dropping 50 points, as speculation increases that the BoE will need to make further cuts, as the current market turmoil has only heighten since the BoE’s meeting. The MPC has cut rates 50 points since November, but an increasing deteriorating housing industry and global liquidity crunch may force them to abandon their inflation concerns..
