Relief all around as the Monetary Policy Committee held the base rate at 5.5%. However this relief is still short lived, the UK is still suffering from high levels of inflation, which are way off Target 2.0 levels, the UK still has a runaway housing market which, although is suffering in the wake of the HIP’s chaos is still going up. So this relief is most likely temporary and it is expected that there may be a further couple of rate rises before the end of the year.
