The lines are very wide if you want to read between them

  • There's no limits to government bond yields for QE

  • BOE did not discuss any measures in advance with banks (I should bloody well hope not)

  • BOE does not want to see UK bank deposit rates fall below zero

  • BOE targets inflation not the FX rate

  • Sterling pass through to inflation takes years

I wonder what Draghi thinks of that last comment. It was one of the main reasons for the ECB cutting rates back in 2014.

  • Cannot see any scenario for negative rates (The press won't let it lie)

  • Risks of low-interest rate environment to financial stability is outweighed by the benefits to the economy

  • Doesn't see merit of helicopter money

The pound has found some semblance of stability after holding above 1.3100 and we're back to 1.3180. We'll find resistance here ahead of 1.3200
