路透新闻部 5 分钟阅读 LONDON, Feb 4 (Reuters) - Investors scaled back their bets that the Bank of England will bring in negative interest rates anytime soon after the central bank said lenders would need at least six months to prepare for such a move. The BoE said it did not want send a signal that it intended to set a negative rate but regulators should start getting banks like HSBC, Lloyds and Barclays ready for the possibility that the policy is implemented in the future. The European Central Bank, the Bank of Japan and others have already taken rates negative, although U.S. central bankers have been more hesitant.
