''So if Brexit caused some of the QE''

nonsense of course. QE has been a policy decision based on opinion of what was needed, starting in early 2009.
A policy decision is now being made to reverse with QT

still trading at well under book value - good for 2023 buyback.

HSBC is selling its Canadian business to RBC for about 2.7 times book value

''You have a better source re Covid? Ok , So why not share it?..''

It is a tedious as the nonsense posts on Brexit. The UK protected people and businesses until the vaccinations programme had taken the strain - end of

T
''Its a business which has a lot of surplus cash it is looking to deploy.. Does it keep spending it on buybacks?''

Yes, that is the current policy - would prefer the share price to remain under 50p for the next programme

''If ever anyone deserved recognition in the honours list..''

it wouldn't be a nurse blogger making money out of presenting a narrative that his audience wants to hear.

''Omicorn is a weak virus (mutated, but weak) in SA people who had NO VACCINE and still catch this had a mild reaction no one died and not die of this
''
''I call it a natural vaccine because it will give a natural protection to every one''

Makes you wonder what China are worried about then SR1.

The energy price guarantee will allow a 20% increase in householders bills come April 2023

''Mortgage rates have already begun to retrace ''

what they have done is reflected the coming off of the short term spike in long term gilt rates caused by a market reaction.

How long would 'just oil' protesters be prepared to glue/chain themselves in the winter.

''I just hope he doesn't glue himself to my local branch...''

I personally wouldn't go to the bother/expense to un glue/unchain an activist - leave them where there are until they phone a friend

''Lloyds may use some of the up and coming foreclosures''

repossessions happen all the time, so 'up and coming' doesn't come into it.

''Carltt
Yet you see Lloyds with a handful of properties as a target? Interesting''

Had another ID. recently (most likely same person) making the same anti landlord/Lloyds posts.

''A senior policymaker at the BoE has recently said, interest rates may need to start falling again if the cost of living pressures ease more quickly than the bank expects.''

was a bit of a waste of time statement. I am sure that there will be someone else saying 'interest rates may need to keep rising to market expectations if there is no sign of the cost of living pressures easing in the timescale that the bank expects.''

Base rates need to be nearer the underlying inflation rate

T
''We ae trying to accommodate just 100,000 so far.''

I believe the number of Ukrainian refugees in the UK is now nearer 140.000 .

These numbers and the numbers of people who have come in from Hong Kong
(I hope there is a time limit) and the large numbers of foreign students have certainly distorted the figures in 2022

Need another 0.5% increase in UK base rates in December, to narrow the gap further between the base rate and underlying inflation of about 6%

T
''Yes energy prices have been a huge driver of inflation. Add in the fluctuations in the £ and a struggling supply chain and you have the triad of inflation.''

Sterling has recovered somewhat from the overbought dollar position.
If demand lessens in the economy as many are expecting that would ease pressure on the supply chain and at the same time impact inflation.

Gas storage had been topped up in readiness for the winter making the current spot price a lot lower, but the futures price is currently higher in anticipation for when the stockpiles diminish.

No improvement with your weekend posts I see - still the same old drivel
