There was not much good news on either the political or economic front this week, with perhaps the saving grace being that many stock market participants have decided that hiding away on holiday might be the preferred course.

Indeed, the fact that [UK growth grew by 0.2% in June](https://www.share-talk.com/traders-cafe-with-zak-mir-the-week-in-small-caps-sunday-13th-august-2023/), better than expected, was perhaps a case of good news being bad news. The market took this as suggesting that the Bank of England may still be keen to deliver a fresh interest rate hike in the autumn, to cool inflation.

It would perhaps be ironic if the deflation we have seen in China is the first sign that central banks having been too slow to raise rates, may now be raising them too high. The ECB hiked to a 22-year high of 3.75%, which is of course a level we in the UK would now be delighted with.
