Good morning everyone. On the back of Governor Carney’s recent comments, the Bank of England’s MPC minutes this Wednesday should have its fair share of investor attention next week, though earnings season, U.S. housing, and New Zealand’s rates policy will all be vying for their time in the spotlight. Topping them all though would still be Greece, which has a €3.5 billion debt payment to the ECB coming due on Monday.
