Boost for Brits as Bank of England trims interest rates from 5% to 4.75%... but will hopes of 'aggressive' cuts be dashed by Labour's big-spending Budget?
Daily MailThe Bank of England cut interest rates today - amid fears the big-spending Budget will keep borrowing costs higher in future. Tim Moore, economics director at S&P Global Market Intelligence, said: 'October data signalled another slowdown in output growth across the service sector as heightened business uncertainty and concerns about the general UK economic outlook had an adverse impact on demand conditions. Rachel Reeves said yesterday she would be appealing to the Trump administration not to go ahead with tariff increases Mr Moore continued: 'Broader geopolitical concerns and forthcoming US elections also added to a sense of wait-and-see on business investment decisions in October. 'With service providers grappling with softer new order growth and less upbeat business activity expectations for the year ahead, the latest survey pointed to a decline in staffing numbers for the first time since December 2023.
