BOE’s is front-running a deeper economic slowdown. They’re not cutting because things are good BUT they’re cutting because the cracks are showing. BOE cut = policy makers globally may follow ⚠️ BoE vote was recast after split! It probably NEVER happened. Taylor voted originally to cut 50 and then went 25. But it was finely balanced - but it shows that this was a HAWKISH 25bps cut.

According to the FT ▶️ 🔴 The group is looking into the practicalities of increasing its trading hours, according to people familiar with the situation, from the technology required to regulatory implications. 🔴LSEG is “absolutely looking at it, whether it means 24-hour trading or extended trading”, one of the people said, adding that the exchange group was “having important commercial, policy and regulatory discussions” about the “ongoing topic”. 🔴 Pioneered in the US, longer trading windows have become a hot topic among exchange groups as they seek to modernise, spurred by the rise of younger investors who trade on their smartphones. 🔴 The 24-hour nature of cryptocurrency markets, where volumes are booming, has also led bourses to consider extending hours.

Households will receive a discount of up to £3,750 per vehicle when they buy a new electric car that is priced below £37,000, under a programme to be announced on Tuesday that will include £63mn of funding for charger installations. The former Conservative government scrapped direct purchase incentives for battery-driven models in 2022, arguing that the market had sufficiently matured. But the industry has repeatedly called for more financial assistance to encourage EV purchases.
