Bank of England to cut interest rates four times this year - Reuters poll
The Bank of England will cut interest rates four times this year to support a flat-lining economy, economists polled by Reuters said, but they added that risks to inflation are to the upside, suggesting policymakers may end up doing less. Interest rate futures are pricing in only two reductions this year, and recent ructions in global bond markets underscore rising inflation concerns linked to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's protectionist economic agenda. British inflation slowed unexpectedly last month and core measures of price growth - tracked by the BoE - fell more sharply, suggesting scope for more cuts even though the Federal Reserve may only have one cut left to go.

BlackRock assets hit record $11.6 trillion in fourth quarter
NEW YORK (Reuters) -BlackRock posted a 21% fourth quarter jump in profit after buoyant equity markets increased income from fees and drove its assets to a record high of $11.6 trillion, the world's largest money manager said on Wednesday.
