Well, another week is behind us and it would seem as if the prevailing winds are bringing a decrease in inflation not only for our friends on the other side of the pond but for us Brits too. Personally, I hope it helps with the sale of my apartment! Did I mention I am selling…

In other news, it would seem that all sides are managing restraint in the conflict in the Middle East. Lots of sabre rattling from Iran but so far the conflict has remained ‘local’.
