But the bigger story is buried.

QT (QE’s scarier evil twin) has been fundamentally rewritten. I’ve read the minutes so you don’t have to.

Strap in for a dive into these key changes and what they could mean: www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c6...

Bank of England holds interest rates at 3.75%, but governor says high energy costs may lead to increase

Six members of the Monetary Policy Committee, which makes the decision, voted to hold the rate - while the other three wanted an increase to 4%.

It may seem confusing, but that's exactly what it is. There are different names for it but, roughly, it's the interest rate they think is consistent with hitting a 2% inflation target in the long run.

"The Fed is fighting a real problem. Inflation is too high. These higher interest rates are costly medicine." My take on the rate hike this morning with @npr.org's Morning Edition: what the Fed is trying to do, what it can't do, and who pays along the way. www.npr.org/2026/09/17/n...

The good news is that since this inflation isn't driven by consumer demand or investment demand, interest rate hikes won't have much impact, except on employment.
