Ignore me - a colleague at work was winding me up - I didn't realise that the decision is tomorrow!

vegasrockstar, where are you in Essex?

US FOMC left rates unchanged, hints at no sign of rate cuts. Not the news those of us looking for a good rate wanted.

OK -so back up to 2.20 this morning - marginal move - might I even get one cent or two more by end of today ?? I am poised, like a coiled sloth, ready to pounce on my phone ....

Hope you get lucky Ann, it's quite possible from what I've been reading this morning.

Thanks Steve - fingers crossed, toes crossed, eyes crossed - I look great

Bah!

I'm still waiting for my HiFX account to be set up!

Love it! I shall file it away for future use.

Hike 25bp As Expected!!

Now I guess we wait for Toronto to open...

Ahhh, i was jsut about to ask how long i should sit now before i call HIFX??

Is there anything else due in the net few weeks i should know about please??

*cries*

What are waiting from HiFX??
It took me about 2 hours to set it up and make a deal.
Used fax, email and telephone to do it mind.

If they cut rates, the US dollar is toast. They can't raise without crashing the economy and they can't cut without crashing the economy. And with Chinese costs and wages increasing, they can't hold without increasing inflation.

Anyway, after the wimpy BoE rate rise today I think I'll be closing my savings accounts next week and shipping the rest of my money out of here. They should have raised 0.5% if they were at all serious about inflation.

Some of the comments with the rate hike from BOE were hinting at cuts later in the year.
