...central bankers are still determined to create caution/fear in the markets.....however although inflation is their no1 concern there is now a growing worry of stunting any growth.....cannot see anymore rate rises this year.....rates to stay around the current levels for longer than anticipated & "we won't hesitate to raise rates if necessary"..will possibly be the overall message ....imo

....all eyes on J Hunt and the autumn statement next wed ..will be watching with great interest...... this was a better week all round ....gla..

Investors acquired a record £93bn of UK government bonds during a sale today, it has been reported, as investors bet that interest rates have peaked.

The sale of 20-year gilts fetched the largest ever level of orders for UK sovereign bonds, excluding the first ever sale of “green bonds” back in 2021, according to Bloomberg News.

The sale of the bonds, which mature in 2043, was conducted by Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds, Morgan Stanley and UBS.

The race to snap up bonds comes as investors bet that interest rates will begin to fall next year amid falling inflation.......

Morning ARMANI....v pleased with the results & the Q3 statement in general...gl & atb

...so far so good UK&US.....however terrible world events & domestic political uncertainty/turmoil holding the markets back ....ps seeing Hunt's autumn statement next week becoming more important by the day .....gla

UK employment,RPI,CPI,Inflation,retail sales....all in the week before Hunts crucial November statement........will be watching with interest....plenty of data US as well PPI,retail sales,housing etc.............gla.

Powell,Bailey etc..managing to keep the markets subdued by further rate rise fear...looks like rates may stay at these levels much longer than originally anticipated ...Hunt November statement 22nd Nov will/could be very interesting...gla

....Nonfarm payrolls increased by 150,000 for the month, against the consensus forecast for an increase of 170,000. That was a sharp decline from the gain of 297,000 in September.The unemployment rate rose to 3.9%, the highest level since January 2022, amid a sharp decline in household employment......Stock futures rose Friday after a soft jobs report drove bond yields lower to cap the stock market’s best week in 2023....

.....could/should be interesting.......gla

G2bh...I should imagine like most things ..its a matter of price...if the offer looks very attractive and a excellent deal for lbg..then a sale would be favourable..gl

...leaving rates around the current level for longer than expected will possibly be the message.....also like Powell ..central banks like to create a bit of fear in the markets saying they wouldn't hesitate to raise rates at anytime...gla.

...The odds seem to be strongly on the side of no change to interest rates........however its what powell says and infers that will probably have the biggest impact......gla.
