To be fair, she could use better choice of words here if she wants to sound more assuring. But in all likelihood, it looks like she wants to maintain optionality in her decision. How typical of a central banker these days, eh? The key word in her answer that is baseline. As we all know, […]

4 FTSE 250 stocks with a yield over double the index average
