☆ Central bank interest rates: Is the global fight to tame inflation nearly over?
  + stars: | 2023-09-21 | by ( Anna Cooban | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
London CNN —Central bankers have had to climb a metaphoric mountain over the past two years in the battle to control runaway inflation. The announcement came just hours after Switzerland’s central bank kept rates unchanged and a day after the US Federal Reserve did the same, holding its key lending rate in the range of 5.25% to 5.5%. “Central banks think they have raised interest rates enough to bring inflation down to their 2% targets in a couple of years’ time,” Paul Dales, chief UK economist at Capital Economics, told CNN. Key interest rates are now at levels that, if “maintained for a sufficiently long duration, will make a substantial contribution” to reducing inflation to its 2% target, the central bank said. “By this time next year, we anticipate that 21 out of the world’s 30 major central banks will be cutting interest rates.”

☆ UK inflation surprises for all the wrong reasons
  + stars: | 2023-05-24 | by ( Hanna Ziady | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
Britain’s stubbornly high inflation is a major drag on its economy because it increases the cost of everyday goods and services, dampening consumption. At the same time, interest rate hikes to combat inflation make loans and mortgages more expensive, which further weighs on spending by businesses and consumers. “The indirect impact of energy prices on business costs means lower gas and electricity prices should eventually feed into lower core inflation. But strong wage growth is likely to keep services inflation high throughout this year,” he added. But it cautioned that high inflation is still a considerable risk to the UK economy.

☆ Liz Truss was defeated by the bond market. Investors aren’t satisfied yet
  + stars: | 2022-10-14 | by ( Julia Horowitz | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
London CNN Business —After a bruising three-week battle with bond markets, UK Prime Minister Liz Truss admitted defeat on Friday. The price of 30-year UK government debt, which has been whipsawed in recent weeks, fell after the press conference. The Bank of England was forced to announce three separate interventions to avoid a full-scale meltdown in the UK government bond market. That’s putting investors on edge, especially since more details on the revised Truss plan aren’t formally expected until Oct. 31. Global dynamics could also make it more difficult for UK markets to find their footing even as the government backtracks.
☆ UK brings budget forward in another attempt to reassure markets
  + stars: | 2022-10-10 | by ( Hanna Ziady | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
Kwarteng announced the Oct. 31 date in a letter to the Treasury on Monday, pulling his midterm budget forward by more than three weeks in an attempt to reassure rattled markets and rebellious party colleagues. He also confirmed that the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), the independent fiscal watchdog, will publish its assessment of the budget on the same day. Investors have been awaiting clarity on a revised date for the budget, which was initially set for November 23. It was widely expected to be brought forward after Kwarteng’s “mini” budget on Sept. 23 crashed the pound and sent shockwaves through financial markets with its promise of £45 billion ($49.8 billion) of unfunded tax cuts. The pound has recovered all of its losses but UK government bond yields remain higher than they were before the crash.
