Are you not engaging again?

More terrible news!! As everyone tries to work out what the budget means for their wallets and society, the economic forecasts released yesterday have taken a bit of a back seat. But they could have as big an impact on you as some of the budget measures. Thanks to the announced measures to slow price rises, along with inflation and economic growth forecasts, the view is that an interest rate cut in December is now more likely. Traders reckon there's a 93% chance the Bank of England will bring the interest rate down to 3.75% in December, according to London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) data. Lower interest rates mean cheaper borrowing and lower mortgage rates. And interest rate falls are on course to continue into next year. Currently, cuts are anticipated in March and July, which would bring the rate down to 3.25%, according to the LSEG data. While independent forecasters, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), think inflation for this year will be higher than their last estimate (thanks to wage rises), they do recognise it will fall. Plus, measures to bring down price rises, such as energy bill cuts and the fuel duty freeze, will help too.
