aussiebear Posted November 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 U.K. Consumer Confidence Held at 1 1/2-Year High in October Nov. 4 (Bloomberg) -- U.K. consumer confidence held at the highest level in 1 1/2 years last month as house prices recovered, Nationwide Building Society said today. An index of sentiment was at 72 in October, the same as in September, Britain’s biggest customer-owned lender said in an e- mailed statement today. TNS questioned 1,000 people for Nationwide from Sept. 21 to Oct. 18. Bank of England policy makers will probably decide tomorrow to increase their bond-purchase plan to 225 billion pounds ($367 billion) to combat Britain’s longest-ever recession. House prices rose 1.2 percent last month, though they have still dropped 17 percent since the 2007 peak, Lloyds Banking Group Plc’s Halifax division said yesterday.

Weber pushed bond yields higher when he breached ECB protocol on Oct. 29 by revealing a possible policy shift on long-term lending to banks, something normally reserved for Trichet. Weber and Belgium’s Guy Quaden also broke a rule that officials refrain from commenting on policy in the week before interest-rate decisions, even though Trichet keeps a list of those who speak out of turn. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=206...ILkRk&pos=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemur Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Emailed a gold news letter writer last night. Remarkably he is calling a top here and a move in gold back down to $750 utilizing some Elliott wave nonsense. (Prechters crowd have been calling a top in gold from $258). Gheez! Seems some 'expert' TA people can not even read a chart from left to right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
