We first show that the rotating mass matrix hypothesis suggested earlier, where the massive eigenvector of a rank-one mass matrix changes with renormalisation scale, is consistent with the latest experimental data on fermion mass hierarchy and mixing, including the CP violating KM phase. We obtain thereby a smooth trajectory for the massive eigenvector as a function of the scale. Using this trajectory we next study Higgs decay and find suppression of 
compared to the standard model predictions for a range of Higgs masses. We also give limits for flavour-violating decays, including a relatively large branching ratio for the τ
