Datanotes Daily Monitor

12 August 2025 UK Monitor The Chancellor's headroom has turned into a £13B fiscal hole

  • Public sector borrowing matched the OBR’s expectations to June on a cumulative basis…
  • ...but policy U-turns and overoptimistic OBR growth forecasts mean the Chancellor faces a £13B hole.
  • We expect back-loaded stealth and ‘sin’ tax hikes to cover most of the £20B gap against headroom.

8 August 2025 UK Monitor MPC is cautious; we expect no more rate cuts this year

  • The MPC cut by 25bp but was much more hawkish, with a tighter-than-expected 5-to-4 vote in favour.
  • The MPC added more cautious guidance, lifted its inflation forecasts and said upside risks had risen.
  • So, we maintain our forecast for no more rate cuts this year, which the market moved closer to pricing.

UK Datanote: UK Car Registrations, July 2025

  • In one line: Car registrations will bounce back as borrowing costs fall and the market normalises after duty hikes.

UK Datanote: UK Final Services and Composite PMI, July 2025

  • In one line: Enough for the MPC to cut, but inflation is proving persistent.

UK Datanote: Construction PMI, July 2025

  • In one line: The PMI should gradually improve as borrowing costs fall and the Government spends big.

7 August 2025 UK Monitor CPI preview: rising to 3.7% in July, peaking at 4.0% in September

  • We expect CPI inflation to rise to 3.7% in July from 3.6% in June, as motor fuels and airfares rise. 
  • CPI collected close to school vacations should boost travel prices, while domestic hotel prices likely rose.
  • We expect inflation to peak at 4.0% in September and still be at 3.7% in December.

6 August 2025 UK Monitor GDP likely rebounded in June, with 0.2% growth month-to-month

  • We expect GDP to rise 0.2% month-to-month in June, as retail sales, real estate and autos output rebound.
  • Our call points to quarter-to-quarter growth of 0.2% in Q2, above the 0.1% forecast in the MPC’s May MPR.
  • We think growth will run close to potential for the rest of 2025, giving the MPC little room for manoeuvre.

5 August 2025 UK Monitor CPI preview: 3.7% in July as motor fuels prices jump

  • We expect CPI inflation to rise to 3.7% in July from 3.6% in June, as motor fuel prices increase.
  • We see upside risk to our goods price call after strong BRC Shop Price inflation and flash Eurozone CPI.
  • We now expect inflation to peak at 4.0% in September, up from 3.8% previously, as food price inflation rises.

UK Datanote: UK Final Manufacturing PMI, July 2025

  • In one line: Manufacturing activity should gradually recover as tariff-uncertainty fades.

UK Datanote: Retail Sales, June 2025

  • In one line:Retail sales are trending up solidly.

UK Datanote: UK GfK Consumers' Confidence Survey, July 2025

  • In one line: Consumers’ confidence knocked by inflation and tax hike speculation.

UK Datanote: UK Money & Credit, June 2025

  • In one line: Consumers still look set to support GDP growth in H2.

1 August 2025 UK Monitor Setting probabilities around our Bank Rate forecast

  • Our central Bank Rate forecast is hawkish, assuming only one more cut this year and none next year.
  • A probability-weighted average of three scenarios is more dovish but still above the market in 2026.
  • Continued sharp payroll falls or easing inflation expectations would shift us to more dovish scenarios.
