Random, they should really look past a relative price movement like that – and even if they didn’t it should be convincing them rates need to be higher not lower.

Unless they think that it is caused by fundamentals, such as a low build rate, and as a result they are worried about hammering some parts of the business sector. Generally banks have shown themselves more willing to loan to households than businesses recently – interesting.
