if you want my uneducated opinion, dont get too comfortable, it had to be a done deal until the snow came down...there's too much consumer debt, fueled by the housing market, and that will trigger inflation at a level that's not wanted (we need some inflation for growth, but not a lot)...what the mpc need to do is kill the housing market, bringing down slowly without causing a major crash...they couldn't go up today because the snow meant the city wasn't fully staffed and the working day was cut short...after the october 87 storms we all know that's a recipe for disaster if there's an upset so the old lady couldn't do anything in a not fully functioning market...rates will go up next month now...
