You said it! "Never realised YOU had placed bets on a move in interest rates,"

lti
Again, my understanding of English "how stupid to position YOUR bets on hints from 1 or 2 MPC members"
Let me make it simple for you, when you say "your" suggest that was directed at me.

"never realised you had placed bets on a move in interest rates, so how could I be telling you?"
So where have I said that I placed bets on a move in interest rates? I have said no such thing. But lets just analyse your comment a bit further......"so how could I be telling you?" Your post at 12:33 today!
"hu
How stupid to position your bets on hints from 1 or 2 MPC members."
My understanding of English is that you were telling me.

lti
Why are you telling me that? Tell the markets!

lti
Yes there are 9 members with independent thought. The markets still positioned themselves before the November meeting on comments from 1 individual, any reason they would not do so this time? Maybe because they got caught out last time?

Well the MPC threw the markets a curved ball before the November meeting hinting rates would rise. If some of the MPC now hinting no rise for December will markets position themselves accordingly on this given they were caught out last time?

November meeting the excuse for not raising rates was wait for employment data.
December meeting looks like the excuse is going to be wait for Omicron data.
They seem to be focusing totally on reasons not to raise rates rather than reasons to raise rates. I think spring/summer 2022 earliest?

"Well they would say that wouldn't they."
Well you would say that wouldn't you.

"Dip buying opportunity. Omicron, the new COVID strain, appears to be less lethal than its predecessors, which may indicate the end of the pandemic according to JPMorgan Chase, reports Bloomberg. The investment advisor extrapolates this to suggest that it may now be a good time to take up positions in stocks dependent on the reopening of the economy, as well as commodity stocks. “We view the recent selloff in these segments as an opportunity to buy the dip in cyclicals, commodities and reopening themes, and to position for higher bond yields and steepening,” said a research note. Since the outbreak of the variant, stock markets have been declining, however yesterday saw a rally."

"XMAS parties
Christmas party leaves 50-60 people infected with suspected Omicron Covid in Norway in what would be world's biggest outbreak of the variant yet"
