Place your bets: are interest rates going to rise in 2010???

Haven't a clue, but it would be interesting to see what odds would be given.
 
thanks mate, but I meant the bloomberg screen that shows a histogram of rates over rate decision dates - it shows probability of rates being ABC on XYZ..??

yeah thats the one.. any chance you could post a screenshot of the "future implied probability" tab..??

:cheesy:
 
If the UK's long-term sovereign rating gets a downgrade, rates will have to go up before 2011 to support the pound, but apart from that proviso, my best guess is that they'll stay at 0.5% for the whole of 2010, mebbe reaching 1.5% by the end of next year.

The downgrade (or not) is going to depend on the reaction to the post-election budget, I reckon.

That said, I've called it wrong before plenty times!
