Visa is offering certain merchants a $10,000 reward if they refuse to accept cash in the future.\n\nNot surprisingly, Visa’s competitor is also part of the war on cash. Mastercard is increasing its efforts to encourage merchants to refuse cash. Here’s Bloomberg, quoting the CEO of Mastercard:\n\n“Mastercard Chief Executive Officer Ajay Banga has been one of the most ardent supporters of ditching paper currency in the U.S. The 57-year-old first declared his war on cash in 2010.”\n\nThese private efforts by Visa and MasterCard exist side by side with official efforts to eliminate or discourage the use of cash coming from governments in India, Australia, Sweden as well as the United States.\n\nThese efforts are always portrayed in the most favorable light. Private parties talk about convenience and lower costs. Governments talk about putting pressure on tax cheats, terrorists and criminals.\n\nGovernments always use money laundering, drug dealing and terrorism as an excuse to keep tabs on honest citizens and deprive them of the ability to use money alternatives such as physical cash and gold.\n\nBut the so-called “cashless society” is just a Trojan horse for a system in which all financial wealth is electronic and represented digitally in the records of a small number of megabanks and asset managers.\n\nOnce that is achieved, it will be easy for state power to seize and freeze the wealth, or subject it to constant surveillance, taxation and other forms of digital confiscation.\n\nThe war on cash has two main thrusts. The first is to make it difficult to obtain cash in the first place. U.S. banks will report anyone taking more than $3,000 in cash as engaging in a “suspicious activity” using Treasury Form SAR (Suspicious Activity Report).\n\nThe second thrust is to eliminate large-denomination banknotes. The U.S. got rid of its $500 note in 1969, and the $100 note has lost 85% of its purchasing power since then. With a little more inflation, the $100 bill will be reduced to chump change.\n\nLast year the European Central Bank announced that they were discontinuing the production of new 500 euro notes. Existing 500 euro notes will still be legal tender, but new ones will not be produced.\n\nThis means that over time, the notes will be in short supply and individuals in need of large denominations may actually bid up the price above face value paying, say, 502 euros in smaller bills for a 500 euro note. The 2 euro premium in this example is like a negative interest rate on cash.\n\nThe real burden of the war on cash falls on honest citizens who are made vulnerable to wealth confiscation through negative interest rates, loss of privacy, account freezes and limits on cash withdrawals or transfers.\n\nThe whole idea of the war on cash is to force savers into digital bank accounts so their money can be taken from them in the form of negative interest rates. An easy solution to this is to go to physical cash.\n\nThe war on cash is a global effort being waged on many fronts. My view is that the war on cash is dangerous in terms of lost privacy and the risk of government confiscation of wealth. India provides the most dramatic example.\n\nHow would you like to go to bed one night and then wake up the next morning to discover that all bills larger than $5.00 were no longer legal tender? That’s essentially what happened in India not long ago.\n\nThe good news is that cash is still a dominant form of payment in many countries including the U.S. The problem is that as digital payments grow and the use of cash diminishes, a “tipping point” is reached where suddenly it makes no sense to continue using cash because of the expense and logistics involved.\n\nOnce cash usage shrinks to a certain point, economies of scale are lost and usage can go to zero almost overnight. Remember how music CDs disappeared suddenly once MP3 and streaming formats became popular?\n\nThat’s how fast cash can disappear.\n\nOnce the war on cash gains that kind of momentum, it will be practically impossible to stop. That’s why I’m always saying that savers and those with a long-term view should get physical gold now while prices are still attractive and while they still can.\n\nGiven these potential outcomes, one might expect that citizens would push back against the war on cash.\n\nSource https://dailyreckoning.com/elites-winning-war-cash/",

You can see under the \"Followers\" column that @joanaltres followers have a total of over 14 GV, and @carlobelgado followers have a total of over 10 GV. That means when you order a resteem from us, you actually have a good shot at making more money because our followers have more Steem Power than our competitors, and getting more followers for yourself who have more Steem Power is key to growth of your account on Steemit. In fact, if you look up our competitors, you'll see that they don't even compare at all and can't do you much good at all. So go with the first and the best: Resteem.com. It costs only 2 SBD or 2 STEEM and you can also order directly by sending 2 SBD or 2 STEEM to @carlobelgado. WATCH OUT FOR FAKERS WHOSE FOLLOWERS HAVE LOW GV. THEY SWIPE OUR MESSAGES AND PRETEND TO BE US. Unless you get a message from @joanaltres, it is not from resteem.com. Thank you!

      "body": "The once high-flying US dollar has had a year to forget in 2017.\n\nThe US dollar index, or DXY, has fallen by more than 10% since hitting a multi-year high in early January this year, undermined by a combination of political gridlock in Washington, soft US economic data and improved economic activity elsewhere in the world.\n\nIt’s been a remarkable turnaround from what was seen in late 2016.\n\nGone is the enthusiasm to what a Donald Trump presidency could bring, replaced by growing concern that he’ll be unable to deliver on his pre-election promises to cut taxes and boost infrastructure spending, two pillars that helped to power the US dollar, bond yields and rate hike expectations higher in late 2016.\n\nNothing quite demonstrates how cold traders have gone towards the greenback than the chart below from ANZ’s FX strategy team.\n\n ![screen shot 2017-08-14 at 64839 am.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdHzRJrPSTXLE5ASHgqQnhCMnXz4DkiZUnSpa8fLKTgmx/screen%20shot%202017-08-14%20at%2064839%20am.png)\n\nIt shows net US dollar positioning among speculative investors based off weekly data released by the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) each Friday.\n\nNet positioning, shown with the blue line, has tumbled in line with the slide in the DXY, going from a net long position of around $30 billion at the start of the year to a net short position of $7.4 billion last week.\n\nNet speculative positioning, defined by ANZ as non-commercial positions reported by the CFTC, is simply the sum of long and short options and futures positions in a particular asset, in this case the US dollar.\n\nWhen net positioning is short it suggests that the market, as a whole, is looking for price weakness.\n\nSo with net short positioning now standing at $7.4 billion, the market, collectively, is now the most pessimistic that it’s been towards the US dollar since May 2014.\n\nIt’s little wonder why the DXY has fallen so far so fast this year.\n\nThe greenback is clearly on the nose with traders, seemingly drawing in even more bearish bets despite its substantial slide over the past seven months.\n\nFor the moment, traders think that the dollar will only continue to weaken in the period ahead based off recent trades.\n\nIrene Cheung and Rini Sen, currency strategists at ANZ, said that the US dollar was sold off aggressively against all major currency pairs last week, lead by continued buying of the euro.\n\n“US dollar selling in the week was broad based, with the most against the EUR,” the duo wrote in a note released on Monday.\n\n“Funds added $US2.3 billion to take their net long EUR position to $US3.6 billion, the second consecutive week of net buying and the biggest long position since May 2014.”\n\nAlong with the euro, traders also continued to pile into commodity currencies such as the Canadian and Australian dollars, recording net buying for a seventh and ninth week respectively.\n\n“Funds added $US900 million and $US800 million to take their net long CAD and AUD positions to $US3.7 billion and $US5.7 billion respectively,” Cheung and Sen wrote.\n\nThe buying in the Aussie dollar left net long positioning at the highest level since April 2013, helping to partially explain why the AUD/USD currently sits near highs not seen in over two years.\n\nTraders also pared back short bets against both the Japanese yen and British pound with net positioning in both declining to $US800 million and $US8.2 billion respectively.\n\nSeemingly, the buck couldn’t find a friend last week despite the release of a strong US non-farm payrolls report for July at the end of the previous week.\n\nHowever, while it’s easy to see why traders have favoured other major currency pairs this year, the combination of short net positioning and increasingly bearish sentiment towards the US dollar suggests the risk of a short-squeeze in the DXY is building should pessimism towards the dollar start to lift.\n\nWe’re clearly not at that point yet, but with so much bad news already priced in, it’s an increasingly important factor to consider.\n\nhttp://uk.businessinsider.com/united-states-dollar-bearish-bets-highest-since-may-2014-2017-8?r=US&IR=T",

      "body": "![bitcoin.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTmACwdVZNKq2bPSU498oZ6nALpDndVBQwXXENAdcQDfs/bitcoin.jpg)\nEver had a case where you wished you had bought something in the past that eventually went up significantly in value? Perhaps a plot in a low-value district which is now worth ten times more? Does that ring a bell? With so many amazing stories surfacing like Kristoffer Koch, Erik Finman, and Jay Smith*, it seems the enormous rise of Bitcoin has been officially making ordinary people who invested in Bitcoin into millionaires.\nMonday marked the seventh anniversary of what is said to be the first recorded instance of Bitcoins being used in a real-world transaction. Over the course of seven years, Bitcoin's value has multiplied 879,999 times. If an investor had decided to spend five dollars on about 2,000 Bitcoins back then, that stake would be worth $4.4 million today. With $1,200 spent on some 480,000 Bitcoins, the investor would be worth at least $1.1 billion today.\n\nBloomberg interview with Bill Gates. “Bitcoin is the answer.”\nAt first, Bitcoin didn’t really catch on, and it was solely the domain of the early adopters. There were very few businesses which accepted Bitcoin as a payment method, and it was something which was almost frowned upon by most governments. As more and more businesses and governments accepted Bitcoin, it gradually went up in value, more and more people were starting to embrace the idea of a decentralized currency, and as more people jumped on board, the price began to rise. Since the beginning of the year 2017, the value of Bitcoin spiked after gaining legitimacy in countries like Japan. \n“Bitcoin is better than currency.” - Bill Gates\nThe main advantage of Bitcoin is that it is decentralized – meaning, there’s no central bank or government which controls it. This freedom is one of the reasons why Investors have come to see the currency as something of a safe-haven-asset in a problematic geopolitical world — and there's been plenty of that in recent months in Europe, Russia, Brazil and the United States. There is also an additional advantage in Bitcoin – there is a mathematical limitation to the number of Bitcoins that can be created, which means – no printing money, so the rules of economy work perfectly. Where there is a limited supply of something, and the demand goes up, the price goes up along with it.\n\nWences Casares has been called Bitcoin’s “patient zero” by the Silicon Valley elite. He got Bill Gates, Reid Hoffman, and countless other luminaries into Bitcoin at gatherings of the rich and famous such as Sun Valley.\n\nBillionaire businessman Wences Casares says it’s not too late for people interested in Bitcoin.\nThe Argentinian-born Casares has founded an internet service provider, a video game company, and a bank, plus he sits on the board of PayPal, but it’s Bitcoin that Casares says he’s dedicating the rest of his life to, and he now runs a startup called Xapo that stores Bitcoin. At a dinner organized by the cryptocurrency policy group Coin Center in New York last night, Casares delivered the keynote speech, including some advice about how to get into Bitcoin.\n\nThe formula, according to Casares? Take 1% or less of what you own, invest in Bitcoin with it. “You either lose one percent of your net worth, which most people can take, or you make millions.” he told a room of cryptocurrency advocates at the Westin in Times Square.\n\nExperts such as Wence Casares predict a single Bitcoin will be worth $500,000 by the year 2030.\nCasares pegs the odds of Bitcoin failing completely and going to zero dollars at 20%. “If it fails, it will be worthless,” he says. “If it succeeds, in five to seven years a single Bitcoin will be worth more than a million dollars.” He puts the chances of success at greater than 50%.\n\nCasares has an interesting reply for those people who believe they have already “missed out” on the Bitcoin train and are afraid that they are joining too late. He said even those who bought Bitcoin at high prices as recently as a month ago have done “spectacularly well”.\n\nBut it’s not just Bitcoin making the headlines, the crypto-currency market is spearheaded by another crypto-currency called “Ethereum” and if you haven’t heard this name yet hear this: Its price grew over 5400% in the last 6 months alone. In fact, the price of Ethereum grew from $7 in the beginning of 2017 to a high of over $400 in June 2017, and there are very good reasons for it. While Bitcoin is mostly used for consumer payment transactions, Ethereum has been adopted by the corporate world. In fact, Ethereum has already been embraced by companies such as Microsoft, Intel, Toyota, J.P Morgan, as well as many other companies which are all official members of The Ethereum Enterprise Alliance (EEA). This corporate acceptance adds a lot to the legitimacy of Ethereum as a currency, and also makes it the perfect “companion” to your crypto-currency investment portfolio.\n\nhttp://www.24businessreport.com/news/en/uk/hiax/index.html?trkid=5A5F3242565A737055703544374B37415A496651715873515F33445F3344&utm_source=Premarket+Stock+Trading&utm_content=London+Taxi+Driver+Got+Paid+%C2%A350+In+Bitcoins+In+2010%2C+Now+He%27s+A+Millio&utm_medium=CNN+Money+%28Turner+U.S.%29&utm_term=0051e8a4de9c850df15755a57d515a83bb&utm_campaign=00b7633797e5ef9a724a3dc2abc6c78fde&utm_id=x2",

Here's are estimates of the ratio of accumulated federal debt/GDP throughout US history, and projected up through 2050, from a Congressional Budget Office Report in March 2017. The spikes of government debt during wartime, the Great Depression, and the Reagan and Obama administrations are clear.

A closer look is really required rather than the typical superficial analysis. Today, online sales represent only 8.5% of total retail sales. Amazon comes in at $80 billion in sales, but this merely amounts to just 1.5% of total U.S. retail sales, since 2016 total retail sales were around $5.5 trillion while healthcare costs to the public is now $3.3 trillion or 60% of total retail sales that is the core of the economy. What John McCain did to kill the repeal of Obamacare is devastating to the economy. The Democrats refuse to review what they have done and cannot see past their ego that Obamacare is destroy the economy.\nThe health-care inflation is the greatest rising cost to everyone and the proliferation of high-deductible plans has devastated Millennials. Some are paying $300 a month yet have $3,000 deductibles. In effect, the cost of health-care has been one huge fraud that is enriching the insurance companies who are major contributors to the Democrats. Obamacare has drastically increased consumer direct health-care costs and further chipped away at discretionary dollars far more than AMAZON. Health-care spending in the U.S. is $3.3 trillion, and even a 3% rise in costs would be close to $100 billion. With total retail sales at $5.5 trillion, heath-care now consumes 60% of retail sales and it is retail sales that are the backbone of the US economy that is holding up the entire world economy. What John McCain has done is far worse than anyone in the media is even contemplating.\nWhile politics just basks in the corruption and the Democrats will not review what they have done, from 2018 to 2021, the future is looking darker and darker. Heath-care is single-handedly destroying the entire world economy.\n\nhttps://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/politics/obamacare-is-officially-destroying-the-economy-has-reached-60-of-total-retail-sales/",

As such, valuing a business based on its P/E, P/CF, or P/B multiples isn’t necessarily accurate.\n\nSales, on the other hand, cannot be fudged. Either the money came in the door or it didn’t. And if a company is caught fudging its sales numbers, someone is going to jail.\n\nWhich is why the fact that the median P/S multiple at an S&P 500 just hit an all time high is a MAJOR warning that stocks are in fact in a MASSIVE bubble.\n\nYou’ve been warned.\n\nhttp://gainspainscapital.com/2017/08/08/officially-biggest-bubble-stock-market-history/",

In July 2015 and April 2009, the reserves stood at 1,658 tons and 1,054 tons, respectively. \n\nMeanwhile, Chinese investors' enthusiasm for purchasing gold remains unabated, as downward pressure on the yuan continues and the property market in first- and second-tier cities cools, said another report published by the World Gold Council in July. \n\nIn the first half, a total of 158.4 tons of gold was sold in the domestic market, up 51 percent year-on-year, according to data released by the China Gold Association. \"China's central bank is apparently moving to increase the portion of gold in its $3 trillion foreign reserves,\" Liu Xuezhi, a senior analyst at the Bank of Communications, told the Global Times on Sunday.\n\n\n\nGold rush\n\nChina has in its rapid economic growth accumulated enough dollars to maintain its trade account, and the country is now looking to diversify its portfolio to avoid potential risks, such as the devaluation of US dollar, the largest reserve currency in the domestic market, experts noted.\n\nThe value of US dollars has slipped by 9 percent in the first half of 2017, posting its worst-ever performance since 1985, news website wallstreetcn.com reported on Friday. \n\nThe US Dollar Index was down 0.72 percent at 93.37 on Friday's close.\n\n\"Unlike credit currencies that are subjected to market uncertainty, gold is a relatively safe and independent vehicle to hedge against fluctuating exchange rates and at least maintain the asset's current value,\" Liu said.\n\nThe US Federal Reserve is expected to raise its benchmark interest rate again in December, which may prompt the yuan to edge down, Liu said.\n\nAt this time, increasing gold reserves could also serve as a cushion, buffering the yuan's downward pressure and stabilizing the yuan's exchange rate, Liu noted.\n\nAbundant gold reserves could also cement China's position in the global financial market, as well as accelerate the yuan's internationalization process in the long run, Zhou Yinghao, a senior analyst at the Beijing Gold Exchange Center, told the Global Times on Sunday.\n\nHe noted that one of the criteria that determines whether a currency can qualify as \"hard currency,\" or globally traded currency that serves as a reliable and stable store of value, is the amount of gold the country holds. \n\n\"For example, the influence of the US dollar on the global economy is partly because it has the biggest gold reserves in the world,\" Zhou explained. \n\nStill, China's gold reserves only represent around 3 percent of its total foreign exchange holdings, which is quite small, according to the cnfol.com report.\n\nThe central bank may be fattening its gold reserves as it looks to increase the yuan's share in the basket of currencies used to calculate the IMF's Special Drawing Rights, experts suggest.\n\n\"The increase would be conducted in a gradual and stable manner, so as to avoid exerting massive impact on the market,\" Zhou said.\n\nhttp://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1059922.shtml",

The Fed took its benchmark rate to near zero during the financial crisis and kept it there for seven years after.\n\nSince December 2015, the Fed has approved four rate hikes, but government bond yields remained mired near record lows.\n\nGreenspan did not criticize the policies of the current Fed. But he warned that the low rate environment can't last forever and will have severe consequences once it ends.\n\n\"I have no time frame on the forecast,\" he said. \"I have a chart which goes back to the 1800s and I can tell you that this particular period sticks out. But you have no way of knowing in advance when it will actually trigger.\"\n\nOne point he did make about timing is it likely will be quick and take the market by surprise.\n\n\"It looks stronger just before it isn't stronger,\" he said. Anyone who thinks they can forecast when the bubble will break is \"in for a disastrous\" experience.\"\n\nIn addition to his general work at the Fed, which also featured an extended period of low rates though nowhere near their current position, Greenspan is widely known for the \"irrational exuberance\" speech he gave at the American Enterprise Institute in 1996. The speech warned about asset prices and said it is difficult to tell when a bubble is about to burst.\n\nThose remarks foreshadowed the popping of the dot-com bubble, and the phrase has found a permanent place in the Wall Street lexicon.\n\n\"You can never be quite sure when irrational exuberance arises,\" he told CNBC. \"I was doing it as part of a much broader speech and talking about the analysis of the markets and the like, and I wasn't trying to focus short term. But the press loved that term.\"\n\nhttps://www.cnbc.com/2017/08/04/greenspan-bond-bubble-about-to-break-because-of-abnormally-low-interest-rates.html",

Savings as a share of disposable income was 4.9% last year, not 5.7% as earlier calculated, the Bureau of Economic Analysis said.\n\nThe update showed that incomes were less than previously reported, while consumption was higher.\n\nAlbert Edwards, a Societe Generale strategist and permabear, published the doomsday interpretation of this data in a note on Thursday. For Edwards, it's the eve of the financial crisis all over again.\n\nsource: The same problems that caused the financial crisis are back\n\n\"Every day more evidence mounts that almost exactly the same debt excesses that caused The Global Financial Crisis (GFC) in 2008, are present today,\" he said.\n\nSlumping savings rates in the US and the UK were last seen in 2007, \"just before the bursting debt bubble blew the global economy and financial system to smithereens.\"\n\nEdwards assigned the blame to the Federal Reserve. Quantitative easing, which stoked demand for bonds and other debt assets, \"has not only inflated corporate debt to grotesque levels, but finally the US savings rate has responded to the surge in household paper wealth that QE has produced,\" Edwards said. \n\nHe continued: \"Typically the SR always declines (shown as a rise in the chart below) with rising wealth. Why do you need to bother saving if interest rates are close to zero and house and stock prices are rising?\"\n\nThe risks from a low saving rate are two sided, said Mickey Levy, the chief economist for Americas and Asia at Berenberg Capital Markets. \"It suggests that consumers are confident enough to increase their spending relative to income growth but it also means that consumers have less of a buffer in the case of any adverse shock.\"\n\nHowever, Neil Dutta, the head of US economics at Renaissance Macro Research, said the savings rate is \"basically where it should be when taking household wealth relative to income into account.\"\n\nAnd so, even if the lower savings rate reflects another credit binge, as Edwards argues, more consumer spending is keeping the US economy afloat for now.",

The taskforce blames consumers for holding cash and for not getting receipts.\n\nMichael Andrew, the head of the taskforce, proposes nanochips in $50 and $100 notes so the government knows where the cash is. Cash will expire after a designated period of time.\n\nAndrew believes “consumers are part of the problem”. He wants to punish people who pay in cash and don’t get a receipt.\n\nA plan to strip consumers of their legal protections if they pay in cash and fail to get a receipt has been slammed as “completely unfair” by leading advocacy groups.\n\nThe proposal was one of 35 recommendations contained in the interim report from the federal government’s Black Economy Taskforce, which argued the need for “consumer-focused action” to crack down on cash payments.\n\nAccording to Taskforce chair Michael Andrew, former global head of accounting firm KPMG and current chair of the Board of Taxation, while current anti-black economy laws focused on businesses, consumers are “part of the problem”.\n\n“We intend to examine the merits of consumer focused sanctions, including the loss of consumer protections, warranties and legal rights for people who make cash payments without obtaining a valid receipt,” Mr. Andrew wrote. “This is not simply of matter of imposing new penalties, but part of a wider cultural change agenda.”\n\nBut he argued any new penalty regime “should be carefully calibrated”, with the strongest sanctions “applying to egregious behavior or repeat offenses”. “Lighter touch approaches (including ‘nudge’ techniques) will be more appropriate in many cases,” he wrote.\n\nThe man charged with cracking down on the “black economy” has revealed how he would like to keep track of your $100 and $50 notes.\n\nHi-tech nano-chips would be implanted in Australia’s “disappearing” cash under a plan floated by Michael Andrew, the head of the federal government’s Black Economy Taskforce.\n\nSpeaking to The Courier-Mail, Mr. Andrew said too much cash was being hoarded under pensioners’ beds and stockpiled as a trusted currency in China.\n\nEstimates for the size of Australia’s so-called black economy vary from $23 billion to $50 billion. The government claims tax avoidance through cash payments costs the budget up to $10 billion in revenue, money that could go towards funding welfare and other services.\n\nIn the May budget, the federal government announced an extra $32 million funding for the Australian Taxation Office to fund its cash crackdown, which it expects to bring in an extra $589 million in revenue over the next four years.\n\nAccording to Mr. Andrew, who will hand down his final report in October, there should be 14 $100 notes for every adult in Australia but there are fewer than that in circulation. While criminals prefer the $50 note, as the Reserve Bank pointed out in its defense of cash last year, foreign migrants and pensioners prefer $100s.\n\n“You could put a trace on some of these notes to see where they would go. You can use nano technology to put little chips in so you could then trace it.”\n\nLast year, a report by UBS recommended Australia scrap the $100 note. According to UBS, benefits may include “reduced crime (difficult to monetize), increased tax revenue (fewer cash transactions) and reduced welfare fraud (claiming welfare while earning or hoarding cash)”.\n\nReaction to Taxes\n\nLiberal Democrats Senator David Leyonhjelm has the right idea.\n\n“The only people who are distressed by the cash economy are the government and the public servants who want to spend taxes. It’s a reaction to the level of taxes we pay,” said Leyonhjel.\n\nECB Phases Out €500 Note\n\n\n\nLast year, the New York Times reported Europe to Remove 500-Euro Bill, the ‘Bin Laden’ Bank Note Criminals Love.\n\nIndia Cash Ban Experiment\n\nOn November 8, 2016, India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi stunned the country with an announcement that 500-rupee ($7.30) and 1,000-rupee notes, which account for more than 85 percent of the money supply, would cease to be legal tender immediately.\n\nI commented Cash Chaos in India, 86% of Money in Circulation Withdrawn; Cash Still King in Japan\n\nOn August 1, 2017, I offered this update: Letters from India: How Bad Can the Crackdown on Cash and Tax Evasion Get? What’s Next?\n\nThe war on cash is moving at breakneck speed.\n\nSource https://mishtalk.com/2017/08/02/war-on-cash-proposals-in-australia-microchip-expiring-100-bills-forcing-people-to-keep-receipts/",

Apparently that's a Game of Thrones reference which is completely lost on me. This extra comment that its foreign exchange strategist Viraj Patel makes a bit more sense to me:\n\n\"The slightly more cautious growth projections, the dichotomy of MPC views and a lack of coherent policy bias mean the bar for a 2017 policy move still remains pretty high; we continue to see a credible BoE rate hike debate being more of a 2018 story.\"\n\nBritain’s powerful services sector accelerated a touch in July, raising hopes that the economy overall is now gathering steam.\n\nBusinesses reported accelerating growth in new orders from customers and said they are increasing the pace at which they take on extra workers to cope with the demand.\n\nThe purchasing managers’ index (PMI) from IHS Markit edged up to 53.8 in July, rising from 53.4 in June and beating economists’ forecasts.\n\nAny score of above 50 shows business activity is rising.\n\nManufacturing growth has also picked up pace, although the construction sector is struggling to stay positive as companies in particular are cautious about signing large building contracts.\n\nThe survey “suggests that the economy has maintained the momentum that it gathered over the second quarter,” said Ruth Gregory at Capital Economics.\n\nsourcehttp://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2017/08/03/bank-england-super-thursday-dominates-markets-focus/",
