George Buckley Next Quotations

I think these minutes are fully consistent with them having to wait until next year.

The strengthening of both the retail sector over Christmas and the housing market over recent months should limit the opposition to keeping rates on hold next week.

The sell-off at the short end (of the yield curve) is understandable in light of this data, with the market now pricing 50 basis points of rate hikes by the end of next year.

Following last week's fully anticipated decision to keep rates on hold, the February inflation report meeting might prove more contentious, depending on how the next two weeks of data turn out.

You're going to go through a rough patch through the next six to 12 months. Inflation is going to be boosted by higher oil prices. There is a clear upward trend.
