Datanotes Weekly Monitor Rob Wood (Chief UK Economist)
- In one line: The trade deficit is trending sideways as gas prices keep import costs elevated.
- In one line:Growth runs close to potential, limiting the emergence of spare capacity.
- In one line:Borrowing overshoot shrinks but the Chancellor still has to raise taxes or cut spending by at least £25B.
- We now expect the MPC to cut Bank Rate by 25bp in February; previously we expected no change.
- Our rate call change is tactical—five MPC doves seem keen—as sticky inflation requires caution.
- Our hotel price tracker suggests limited impact from the tube strike, but the risk is for a 4.1% inflation print.
- In one line: Weaking wage growth makes this a dovish release, but the underlying story is a stabilising labour market with jobs no longer falling.
- In one line: Retail sales holding up given a tube shutdown and wet weather in September.
- In one line: Payroll falls will ease as tax hike hit begins to fade.
- The strongest September car sales in five years indicate signs of life in the consumer.
- September’s REC survey points to easing payroll falls, so we look for an 8K month-to-month drop.
- We doubt graduate recruitment will drag much on payroll growth in September.
- In one line: Budget uncertainty will keep housing market weak until November.
- In one line: The PMI has been a poor construction indicator lately, official output will probably hold up.
- In one line: Strongest September car sales for three years bodes well for GDP.
- In one line: Dovish as activity growth slows, price pressures ease and margins are squeezed, but Q3 average PMI was OK.
- In one line: Employment falls fail to open spare capacity so wage and price pressures remain stubbornly too high.
- September’s weak PMI sharpens the downside risk to our calls, but we stick to 0.2% quarterly growth in Q3.
- GDP growth was well balanced in H1, and credit flows point to solid private demand in Q3 too.
- Stubborn wages and inflation in the DMP, as spare capacity fails to open up, imply a cautious MPC.
- In one line: Manufacturing activity to remain weak in the second half of the year.
- In one line: House prices jump in September but we look for a subdued second half of the year.
- In one line: The PMI cools in September but growth will still run at a healthy pace in Q3.
- In one line: Growth still reliant on government, but business investment growing through the H1 headwinds is an encouraging sign.
- In one line: Confident consumers and rising corporate credit flow signal healthy GDP growth.
- In one line: Little news, as underlying services inflation settling in the low-4%'s will keep the MPC on hold for the rest of this year.
