	<description><![CDATA[Sterling long positions cut due to comments by Mervyn King who said inflation surge due to one-off events and any decision to raise interest rates will be based on longer-term goals.<br /><br />The minutes also noted that the pattern of subdued money and credit growth in the UK may reflect:<br />"a reduced reliance on the banking system during the recovery, given the tightening in bank credit conditions. This trend might persist if businesses were to rely increasingly on existing cash balances and capital markets, rather than bank lending, to finance investment in future. The relative weakness of broad money growth might also reflect banks increasing their capital bases in advance of the introduction of higher regulatory capital standards. To the extent that these factors persisted, money and credit growth could remain weaker than nominal spending growth for some while." ]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[In BHP Billiton's latest Preliminary Financial Results, they say they're not concerned about the impact of credit market worries on raw materials "Recent discussions with our customers have indicated that they do not expect the volatility in the US and European credit markets to have a material impact on raw material demand. In particular, our customers in China and India believe domestic supply and demand criteria are much more important factors in their markets. We will continue to assess impacts from this recent volatility." ]]></description>
