here s where the bank s base rate stands at the moment at 5.25% it is the highest in 15 years. the bank has raised the cost of borrowing fourteen times to try and tame soaring prices but inflation has eased sharply in recent months and the expectation now is that rates may soon start to come down. however, for those in the uk hoping for cheaper mortgages and loans there was something of a bad omen in the us, where the chair of the federal reserve seemed to dash expectations of a rate cut next month. as michelle fleury reports. the fourth meeting in a row, the federal reserve did not raise interest rates. this is the longest pause since policymakers began their aggressive rate campaign to tame inflation back in march of 2022. but for rate weary americans, well, they will likely have to wait a few more months to see any relief, given these comments by the federal chair. based on the meeting today, i would tell you that i don t think it s likely that the committee will reach a

since donald trump s efforts to overthrow the 2020 election culminated in a violent mob storming the u.s. capitol. for a few weeks, trump was an outcast. a political comeback seemed farfetched, almost impossible to imagine. and yet, thanks to his allies in congress and the maga movement on hold, donald trump has emerged here at the end of 2023 not nearly rehabilitated politician but as the undisputed leader of his party. now, trump began this year as the prohibitive favorite for the republican presidential nomination. even in january, he had a monster 20 point national lead over his closest rival, florida governor ron desantis. and in the months since, trump s lead has only widened. at this point, a rematch against joe biden appears almost inevitable. and yet, while trump s march towards the republican nomination this year was mostly interrupted, there has been for the last 12 months an x-factor that he has had to contend with, a series of criminal investigations. as the year
