☆ Central banks around the world just made borrowing costs more expensive
  + stars: | 2023-06-23 | by ( Phil Rosen | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
The central banks of the UK, Turkey, Norway, and Switzerland all raised interest rates yesterday. The Bank of England is the UK's central bank. Let's start with the Bank of England's decision to raise interest rates by 50 basis points and bring borrowing costs to 5%. Turkey's central bank, meanwhile, raised interest rates by 650 basis points to 15%, which was somehow less than markets expected. Just to cover our bases: Norway's central bank raised its core lending rate by half a percentage point, and Switzerland's policymakers hiked its benchmark rate by a quarter point.

☆ Bank of England shocks markets with jumbo interest-rate hike, escalating its fight against sticky inflation
  + stars: | 2023-06-22 | by ( George Glover | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
The Bank of England raised interest rates by 50 basis points Thursday. The rate hike comes after Thursday's Consumer Price Index showed inflation remaining at 8.7% in May, way clear of the BoE's 2% target. UK interest rates are now at their highest level since 2008 after the bank brought in its largest rate hike since February. The British pound traded level at around $1.28 after the bank announced its latest decision, while 10-year government bond yields fell by around 13 basis points. "Interest rate rises have been called a blunt instrument, but with very few tools in the box, it seems a sledgehammer is required to fight inflation," he added.

☆ UK house prices post first annual drop since 2012, says Halifax
  + stars: | 2023-06-07 | by ( Suban Abdulla | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
LONDON, June 7 (Reuters) - British house prices dropped on an annual basis in May for the first time in 11 years, and pressure on prospective buyers from higher mortgage rates could deepen the downturn, mortgage lender Halifax said on Wednesday. Kim Kinnaird, director of mortgages at Halifax, said demand was weakening and higher interest rates were likely to increase pressure on house prices. Halifax, part of Lloyds Banking Group (LLOY.L), on Tuesday said it would raise interest rates for its fixed home loans from Wednesday. The stronger-than-expected inflation data raised markets' bets interest rates will peak at 5.5% later this year. Nationwide, another lender, last week reported a steeper 0.5% month-on-month drop in house prices in April and a 3.4% annual decline - the biggest drop since 2009.

☆ UK to curb crypto advertising with 'cooling off' periods, risk warnings
  + stars: | 2023-06-07 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said "refer a friend" bonuses for crypto buyers would also be scrapped and that those promoting such assets would have to put in place clear risk warnings and ensure adverts were clear, fair and not misleading. But research shows many regret making a hasty decision," said Sheldon Mills, executive director at the FCA's consumers and competition division. "Consumers should still be aware that crypto remains largely unregulated and high risk," he said. FCA research shows that estimated crypto ownership has more than doubled from 2021 to 2022, with 10% of 2,000 people surveyed stating they own cryptoassets. Under the new rules, crypto firms will have to carry warnings such as: "Don't invest unless you're prepared to lose all the money you invest.

☆ The biggest money mistakes that could change your future — and how to get ahead of them right now
  + stars: | 2023-05-29 | by ( Sophie Kiderlin | In | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Making money mistakes can be scary and seem catastrophic. A lack of planning and not having specific goals are two of the most common mistakes, experts say. "You might be more likely to maintain contributions or ride out short-term market volatility if that new home, dream trip or once-in-a-lifetime experience is clear in your mind," he added. But plenty of common money mistakes are related to losing or spending money rather than making it. Paying off debt, such as your rent and bills, should be prioritized — not doing so could have serious consequences, Myron Jobson, senior personal finance analyst at interactive investor, tells CNBC Make It.

☆ What do tax cuts and market chaos mean for young Brits? 3 experts give their advice

His plan includes widespread tax cuts, fewer rules and regulations for businesses and the removal of a cap on bonuses for bankers. Google searches like "do the tax cuts help me" skyrocketed, while outrage was rife on social media. Do the tax cuts equal more cash in hand? The majority of first-time buyers fall below this threshold and therefore won't benefit from the cuts, Jobson said. "The change mainly benefits high-earning first-time buyers and those with sufficient backing from the bank of mum and dad," he added.
