yeah I agree...November inflation report the next big thing to look out for....

I love rumours like this...nothing actually comes out but because someone says "economists present with the MPC reckon BoE aren't ready to reduce the reserve rate"....the whole strip takes a beating. Over 150k contracts traded in Z9....pretty impressive.
