Hawkish comments from Carney

  • Asked if the BOE should raise rates, he said the UK running out of space capacity and tolerance for over-target inflation
  • Repeats that a rate rise is likely to be appropriate in the coming months
  • We need to take rate decisions one at a time
  • BOE policy response to Brexit is not automatic
  • The big picture is that most of the world economy is firing on all cylinders
  • The global economy is becoming more stimulative
  • Global inflation will pick up

Mark Carney is proof of how far a confidence and good looks can take you despite being wrong about pretty much everything.
