30, which is interesting and worth bearing in mind we have not traveled that far. The bank of england stepping up preparations for negative rates. You can see quite facing the repricing at the front end of the u. K. Curve as we see the two moving as twoyear prospects of negative rates appear to become greater. Alix more on that boe decision with paul dale, capital economic chief u. K. Economist. Negative rates when, where, the future, how do they do it, when do they do it . I think the answer is probably not for a while, if they even do it at all, which suggests to me that the markets have got a bit too excited. We know that the bank of england has been thinking about negative Interest Rates for some time and said in august for the first time that it is part of the target. And today, the minutes revealed that they have started to make preparations so if they didnt want to use them, they could use them. Now i think that is very different to actually wanting to use them.

Provide strong support for the economy. Rates will remain accommodative until the economy is far long in its recovery. That should be a powerful statement. Inflation running persistently below 2 , we will aim to achieve inflation moderately above 2 for a short time. Longerterm Inflation Expectations remain well anchored at 2 . Labor market has improved, but it is a long way from maximum employment. My sense is that more fiscal support is likely to be needed. Details of that are for congress, not the fed.

Mark cabana, bank of America Global Research strategies. Nathan, broad strokes. The fed date with the market the fed did what the market said it would do. The issue here is not about the feds commitment where the power of the Forward Guidance. Pretty put down some stringent restrictions that will inern any fu

Economy contracted more than any other in europe in the Second Quarter. Plenty more of markets shortly now lets get straight will raise more questions over the governments handling of the pandemic. There are worrying signs the bounceback may run out of steam. Hard times are here. Hundreds of thousands of people have already lost their job and sadly many more will. But i will say to people, although tough decisions lie ahead for all of us, no one will be left without hope or opportunity. Up ina plans to bring tiktok in talks with the u. S. It is likely to take place as soon as this week. We are not certain what beijing hopes to achieve when bringing up the app. It comes just days after President Trump signed a ban on transactions using the app on National Security grounds.

Confusion as to what the boe is doing. Are they dovish or hawkish . Cannot tell. Guy, we will be speaking to the iea executive director and also at Columbia University visiting professor and former citi chief economist. Guy also formally of the bank of england. We will just what exactly we have been learning from the bank of england. A lot to digest and hard to fathom. Hour we last half an have seen news from the press briefing. A teleconference briefing with reporters after the policy decision. He did not discuss negative rates, and did not discuss neil yield control. But there will be some degree of flexibility with the pace of qe, which looks like it is going to slow down. Economist joins us to give us his take.
