Interest rate cut- Portugal to follow today?! May be.

Lee: Looks that way but Germany and France succumb to political pressure to cut the rates any further as theirs is already somewhere around 3.3% I think,however the following EU members are likely,Portugal as soon as today.
======================
Exceprts from Bloomberg.

".....Still to come are expected rate cuts from Ireland, Italy and
Portugal, where borrowing costs are still as much as 1.7
percentage points greater than the German-French 3.30 percent
benchmark. All of those countries have cut rates during the past
month to move toward a single interest rate.

The Bank of Portugal is expected to cut its benchmark rate
later today from 4.0 percent. The Bank of England is expected to
cut interest rates for the U.K., which isn't yet adopting the
euro, on Thursday...........
