The Bank of England will announce its interest rate decision and meeting minutes in ten minutes.On September 18th, S&P Global Ratings stated in a report that the Bank of Englands quantitative tightening program is unlikely to disrupt the UKs financing environment. Quantitative tightening refers to the process by which the central bank gradually reduces its bond holdings purchased during quantitative easing. To this end, the Bank of England has established an on-demand repo facility to provide liquidity support to the UK financial system. S&P noted: "The design logic of this on-demand facility is that the pace of quantitative tightening should not affect the supply of reserves."According to the New York Times: Ukrainian commanders predict that Russia is sending an additional 16,000 troops and will launch a new round of offensive within 10 days at the earliest.Mizuho Bank: Raised Coinbase (COIN.O) target price to $300, from $267 previously.Ukrainian Defense Minister: Ukraine will provide Poland with access to a system to track drones flying into Poland.

Friday, AMP Ltd announced that its Australian wealth management unit's third-quarter net outflows were more than halved due to increased inflows into its main online investment platform, North, and decreased withdrawals at its pension trusts.


AMP (OTC:AMLTF) has seen chronic outflows after a government-backed investigation found a litany of flaws that the 173-year-old corporation has been striving to overcome in order to regain public trust.


"We've seen a reduction in cash outflows to other superannuation funds, and we're acquiring new customers on our North platform, which has led to an increase in cash flows from independent financial advisers," said AMP CEO Alexis George.


During the quarter, the North platform generated $774 million in inflows, while Master Trust outflows declined from $1.59 billion to $819 million.


According to the company's annual report published in March of this year, Master Trust offers about 850,000 consumers the largest single retail superannuation product set in Australia.


In the three months leading up to September, the major wealth management division of AMP saw net cash outflows of A$0.8 billion ($502.40 million), compared to A$1.9 billion in the same period of the previous year.


Due to a drop in investment markets and continued cash withdrawals, the unit's assets under management decreased by A$3.7 billion to A$121.4 billion.


AMP reported that its banking unit's net interest margins remained on track to exceed the annual target range of 135 to 140 basis points (bps).
