• BOE credit outlook up to stable from negative

I would say that little pop to 1.6978 was the news sneaking out earlier.

As I said in the prior post, Moody’s has the potential to give the pound a kick if they give us back the triple A.

Further comments out now;

  • Outlook revision reflects our view of the robust and broadening recovery in the UK economy amid further progress in consolidating public finances
  • Expects the UK economy to expand by nearly 32.0% in 2014 and 2.5% in 2015
  • Anticipate the economic recovery to continue to broaden benefitting public finances
  • Affirmed unsolicited AAA/A+1 long and short term ratings
  • Despite a challenging external environment the UK has retained its substantial market share of global financial services
  • Expects services to continue to make a large contribution to economic growth

I’m shedding tears of pride as I type this folks
