The Papers

Morning all!

Good morning!

Good results imo ex CMS

Reduction in debt, pension payments agreed, FCF positive, increased sales in Europe (with hopefully margin improvements over time)

Morning. BOE interest rate decision at 12 today and it's not clear to me which way the banks will move if rates go up.

Rates up = increased margins which usually mean bank share prices rise. However, I think it might be seen as negative for the economy and drag them down.

GBP Services PMI 53.8 53.6 53.4

MPC 6-2 no change from 5-3 last time. A bit of a surprise.
