A bit of good news for Nick Train today. Rightmove #8 top holding in Lindsell Train UK Equity and #9 position in Finsbury Growth & Income Trust. A 5.0% and 4.2% position respectively.

No CPI surprises today, but services inflation ticks up showing it's the tough nut to crack for the BoE. It won't be in a hurry to cut interest rates tomorrow, but November remains very likely. The data may look better, and the Budget will reveal the fiscal picture!

An eerie calm. Capricious bond markets are little moved so far this morning and no ripples on currency or stock markets. What lies beneath will start to be revealed at lunchtime, but it will probably mean more for tax and personal finances than it will for broader markets.

Seasons greetings from everyone at Charles Stanley 🎄🎇.
