IHT: Surprise in England: Interest rates are cut
08 February 2003 
"London moves while others await war
The Bank of England unexpectedly cut interest rates Thursday to the lowest level in nearly half a century, raising concern in financial markets that the strongest major economy in Europe faces unpleasant surprises as war in Iraq looms.
.
Analysts said the Bank of England might have acted with inside knowledge of unusual stress to the financial system, perhaps stemming from a sharp decline in stock prices; since Jan. 1, the FTSE 100 index in London has fallen nearly 9 percent, nearly double the drop in the Dow Jones industrial average during the same period.
More interest :-) and intrigue.
