The Bank of England is only likely to raise interest rates gradually, as headwinds to growth and long-term downward pressures on borrowing costs pass, the central bank's deputy governor said on Thursday.
Ben Broadbent said current, very low, inflation- and risk-adjusted returns on investments would probably rise as productivity improved. But he warned this was uncertain and that long-term economic stagnation could not be ruled out.Broadbent's speech at an economics conference did not discuss Britain's immediate economic outlook, and instead focused on central banks' powerlessness to do much to affect asset prices or long-term economic growth."Over time, trends in real asset prices are determined by real, non-monetary, forces. We may occasionally be prominent actors but it's someone else who's written the script," he told London's Society of Business Economists.Critics of central banks have said that low interest rates were partly to blame for the financial crisis, by unsustainably pumping up asset prices and encouraging risky lending.But Broadbent said that the BoE, at least, had been responding to longer-term economic factors - such as a glut in savings from East Asia and an ageing domestic population - that were outside its control.

Jets use defense to beat Predators
WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- The tight-checking, defensively sound Winnipeg Jets?Yes, indeed.Finally demonstrating they understand how to defend, the Jets earned their fifth victory in six games with a tidy 3-1 decision over the Nashville Predators Tuesday night.Winnipeg (7-5-1) scored a pair of power-play goals early in the first period and hung on despite a gritty effort by the Predators (7-3-2). It represents a marked improvement from the Jets' 1-4 start to the 2014-15 campaign.Jets left winger Andrew Ladd, with his fifth goal, and center Mark Scheifele, with his second, scored on Predators goalie Carter Hutton before the game was six minutes old.

There's a science to using science.
On May 9, the government of Alberta released a study into the extra carbon emitted by crude produced using oil sands instead of more conventional sources. The study, by a unit of California-based Jacobs Engineering Group, found that emissions from oil-sand crude are just 12 percent higher than from regular crude.But the report was not just about the science. It also sent a political signal to Europe: Canada's fight over oil sands is not done yet.As part its ambitious efforts to cut carbon emissions, the European Union has proposed classifying crude produced from oil sands, or tar sands as environmentalists and others call them, as much dirtier than other fuels.A 2011 study for the EU by Stanford University academic Adam Brandt found that oil-sand crude was as much as 22 percent more carbon intensive.Canada, whose oil sands have helped it become an energy power, fears such a ruling could imperil a resource it estimates will add more than C$3 trillion to its economy over the next 25 years.
