Interest Rates Cut 0.5%

The Bank of England has cut interest rates by 0.5% to 1.5% – the lowest level in its 300 year histrory.

Some analysts had expected a 1% cut, which would have been bad news for the ailing Pound. As 0.5% was the minimum cut expected, the Pound has found some strength which has improved Euro exchange rates, Dollar exchange rates, and most others this afternoon.
