Latest Weekly Bulletin - week commencing
The ECB and MPC left official rates unchanged last week but that did not stop rates firming in all major currencies as better than expected economic data and an increased perceived attitude to risk, notably in the form of a rally in the equity markets, took hold. This was supported at the end of the week by considerably better-than-expected US non-farm payroll figures. For the UK this meant that the dalliance with a sub 3.00% five year swap rate was pretty short-lived.
