It's been a roller-coaster ride when it comes to expectations for what the Bank of England will do at its policy setting meeting this week.
Just a few weeks ago, a rate rise looked like a done deal, with the market pricing in about a 90% possibility of a tightening at the May 10 meeting. But enter a string of disappointing data—particularly the weak first-quarter growth number—and a dovish Gov. Mark Carney, and investors are now seeing only a 10% chance of a rate hike.

Hot Growth Stocks To Watch Right Now: Nordstrom Inc.(JWN)
Advisors' Opinion:- [By Chris Lange]
Nordstrom Inc.’s (NYSE: JWN) most recent quarterly release is anticipated late on Thursday. The consensus forecast is $0.44 in EPS on $3.46 billion in revenue. Shares ended the week at $48.80. The consensus target price is $51.19, and the 52-week range is $37.79 to $54.00.

Nordstrom (NYSE:JWN) was downgraded by analysts at Zacks Investment Research from a buy rating to a hold rating. According to Zacks, “Nordstrom outperformed the industry in the last six months driven by the smooth execution of customer strategy and disciplined inventory management. The company has an impressive surprise history with earnings beat delivered in seven of the last eight quarters and topping sales estimates in three of the trailing four quarters. Results in first-quarter fiscal 2018 gained from the shift in Nordstrom’s loyalty event to the quarter compared with the second quarter in the prior year. Management raised the low-end of its EBIT and earnings views for fiscal 2018. Also, its focus on store expansion and strengthening capabilities through further investments, particularly in digital growth, remains noteworthy. However, investments toward occupancy, technology, supply chain and marketing are weighing on its margin performance for the last few quarters. Higher expenses have been resulting in higher SG&A expense, which is hurting profitability.”
