The Chai Tattle - 26th January 2026

A brief summary of the economic market at end of day looking at indicators and metrics not found elsewhere.

The market did not respond kindly the MPC not announcing a rate cut, something a lot of analysts and market participants expected given the increase in consumer lending from banks. This led to a bearish environment on the market with 61% of the equities going negative. 

The pattern of deltas shows peaks in the center for negative deltas and liquidity also took a massive drop.

Overall trading patterns were weird as KEL was such an outlier on the market.
