Monday, January 7, 1:15 PM Thanks to the EU debt crisis and fiscal follies in the U.S., the U.K. has managed to stay out of the papers, but the country's "frailties (will) emerge from the shadows," says HSBC. A sovereign downgrade looms, says the bank, and with it, a falling pound - which should help exports and stock prices. Comment! [Global & FX]
Monday, November 26, 2012, 10:48 AM Sterling rallies after what will be considered a coup for the Cameron government in nabbing Canada's Mark Carney as Bank of England Governor.

Lower earlier, cable is now flat at $1.6026. Canada's loonie weakens by about 15 pips. 5 Comments [Global & FX]
Wednesday, November 14, 2012, 6:56 AM "The Committee has not lost faith in asset purchases as a policy instrument," says BOE Governor King, warning the U.K. economy better get moving or it will be the subject of another round of QE. Much ado about nothing, says King, over the kerfuffle about the bank transferring interest payments it receives on its Gilt stash to the Treasury. Comment! [Global & FX]

Thursday, June 14, 2012, 5:35 PM More on the U.K. "funding for lending" scheme: "The case for a further monetary ease is growing," says BoE Governor King. The plan he describes sounds like a U.K. version of the LTRO, where banks would receive cheap loans (against a wide range of collateral) with a maturity measured in years. Unlike the EU - where it was assumed the banks would use the funding to buy sovereign debt - U.K. banks will be expected to make loans into the economy.
