Just in case some people have forgot..."The UK has faced several fiscal shocks in the last 20 years, including the 2008 financial crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the war in Ukraine:

2008 financial crisis: This was the most severe economic downturn since the Great Depression, and had a particularly large impact on the UK due to its significant financial sector.

COVID-19 pandemic: This caused huge economic disruption.

War in Ukraine: The invasion of Ukraine in 2022 led to a surge in energy prices, which contributed to inflation rising to its highest rate since the early 1980s..........There are more with less severity but some people seem to have no idea/or forgotten exactly how severe the above examples were.......gla .

Nov 14 (Reuters) - Wall Street's main indexes closed lower on Thursday after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell dampened investors' hopes for another interest rate cut this year by saying the U.S. central bank need not rush to ease monetary policy.

Powell said at a Dallas Fed event that with the economy still growing, the job market solid and inflation still above the 2% target, the Fed can deliberate carefully on rate cuts.While traders were still betting on a 25-basis point reduction at the Fed's December meeting, the probability fell to 62% from 76% earlier in the afternoon and from 82.5% on Wednesday, the CME FedWatch tool showed.

"The comments from Powell put more cold water on what used to be a very optimistic outlook on the path for rate cuts," said Adam Hetts, global head of Multi-Asset at Janus Henderson Investors.......
