Oh no they’ve posted about quantitative tightening again

The FT’s weekly newsletter by Editor Roula Khalaf highlights ongoing discussions surrounding the Bank of England’s quantitative tightening (QT) strategy. Recent analyses indicate that forecasts for QT’s impact on the UK economy vary, with Bank of America suggesting a potential £60bn reduction in active sales, raising concerns about how QT might inadvertently tighten monetary conditions. The overall conclusion emphasizes that active QT exerts upward pressure on gilt yields, presenting long-term costs for the UK economy, despite short-term fiscal adjustments.
