Hawkish headline from Carney
- Some removal of stimulus likely to be needed as spare capacity erodes
- ECB tolerance for higher inflation is limited
- MPC will debate issues around raising rates "in the coming months"
- MPC is clear that its tolerance for above-target inflation is limited
- Readiness to raise rates hinges on how much weaker consumption is offset by business investment
- Other factors the BOE will consider are wages, Brexit and unit labor cost
We've heard the line "in the coming months" before but this is a bit more explicit. It's a matter of 'when' not 'if'. Cable busts above 1.29 on the headlines.
