This week David Cunningham and Dave Tyrer discuss allll the things OCR! Like, how the latest 0.5% cut is likely to affect people. We all know that the OCR means interest rates go down, which is great for mortgage borrowers - but what about the flip side, savings accounts and term deposit rates will fall too. We dissect how both sides of the market will be affected and what's likely to happen from here. It's a meaty one!
