While Monday slowly grinds along let’s look forward to Wednesday and the latest BOE quarterly inflation report which nowadays becomes more about the latest update on interest rate hikes

The report is published here at 09.30 GMT with Carney reading a prepared statement before taking questions from the floor.

Expect him to stick to the longer term message that rates will increase gradually and peak at a level well below pre-crisis norms but don’t expect him to give any clues on how the voting went at last week’s meeting. We can hope though at least! That info will be available on August 20th with the release of the BOE minutes

Carney likes to be the star of the show so we can expect him to put on a strong performance with the hawks on the MPC snapping at his heels, but he’s between a rock and a hard place right now so expect some good ol’ fashioned charm offensive too.

Other key event on Wednesday is the UK jobs report that Ryan has already higlighted here.
