For now, he sees policy as restrictive enough and no clear evidence of those second-round effects. That argues against an immediate rate increase, even as rising oil futures keep the risk on the BoE\u2019s radar.<\/p>\n<p>The January wage intentions survey is a key test. If wage expectations remain near 3%, Taylor says that would be reassuring. If they rise, the case for holding rates steady becomes harder. His concern about an \u201cinsurance hike\u201d adds another complication: traders might read one precautionary increase as the beginning of a series.<\/p>\n<p>                            This article was written by Greg Michalowski at investinglive.com.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>omments from BoE\u2019s Taylor cross the wires: Does not know if the BoE can do a single \u201cinsurance hike\u201d that would not be misinterpreted as the start of a series.
