Market Overview (Economy)
Asian markets are largely positive as oil
prices recovered and as the BOE
announced an unexpected stimulus.
The Bank of England cut interest rates
for the first time since 2009, taking
rates from 0.50% to a record low
0.25%. The BOE also announced that it
would buy 60 billion pounds of
government debt and 10 billion pounds
of high-grade corporate bonds.
The dollar index remains flat ahead of
the all-important payrolls data today
while the pound is likely to slump
further.
