The dividends are so poor ATM for the private investors it's hardly worth the worry.
of course the pension companies, Aviva etc. my wife will have to fork out a bit on her private pension.
More incentive to do more trading instead of long holdings.

Bank of England's Saunders: interest rates could rise next year

A Bank of England policymaker has suggested that UK interest rates could rise in the next year, if the recovery continues and rising prices lead to ‘more persistent’ inflationary pressures.

Michael Saunders, a member of the Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee which sets rates, told an online session this morning that the economic outlook would determine when interest rates will rise from their current record low of 0.1%.

Saunders explained:

If the economy continues to recover, and inflation shows signs of being more persistent, then it might be right to think of interest rates going up in the next year or so.

He added “that’s not a promise”, as any rise in borrowing costs will depend on economic conditions.

Saunders also predicted that any rise in interest rates in the next year or so should be “relatively limited”, given that the neutral level of interest is much lower than it used to be [this is the point where rates are neither stimulating the economy nor restricting growth].

It’s not clear that we would even need to get back to neutral in that period, Saunders added.

Inflation dropped back to the Bank’s 2% target in July, but is expected to surge to around 4% by the end of this year.

I remain sceptical of the post covid19 bounce - we don't know how the ending of furlough scheme will pan out, material and labour shortages and inflation.

I saw brick makers reported hiking prices from 7 to 10.5%, cement lorry drivers striking, energy costs price hiked above inflation. IMO, there are too many signs firms are tapping consumers hard in an effort to recover from covid19 too quickly.

I never thought I would see the day, when the conservative party moved left but sadly over the past few months, it has happened. The likes of Burke, Disraeli, Churchill and Thatcher, must be turning in their graves. Johnson has led the conservative party down a very dark path, unless they alter course, immediately, they may never find their way back.

Boris has no idea how a tax hike and his green agenda will have on ordinary people.Time is up for him..
