“There’s certainly no talk of rate cuts in the States,” said Currie. “At a minimum, we’re staying where we are and possibly taking it a bit higher.”It was a mixed day for U.S. earnings as third-quarter reports continued to roll in. Morgan Stanley shares fell despite better-than-expected profits, while Procter & Gamble shares rose after it also beat expectations.
