Bailey Doubles Down On Pension Fund Ultimatum

BOE
  • Speaking in Washington, BOE Governor Bailey says the message to pension funds is that "you've got three days left" reinforcing that the current intervention in markets is temporary and that "we will be out" by the end of the week.
  • It confirms what the Bank has already said in market notices both today and yesterday but goes against apparent market hopes of further intervention with risk assets selling off on the back of it - S&P e-mini fall 1% on the headlines to back at levels as the US first came in this morning and USD firms on the flip side.
