Datanotes Daily Monitor

UK Datanote: Construction PMI, August 2025

  • In one line: The PMI inches up but still remains overly downbeat.

UK Datanote: Bank of England Decision Maker Panel, August 2025

  • In one line: Stubborn wage and price pressures should keep the MPC cautious, but falling employment is a building risk.

UK Datanote: UK Car Registrations, August 2025

  • In one line: Private car registrations should continue to rise as displacement demand drives sales.

5 September 2025 UK Monitor GDP likely unchanged month-to-month in July

  • We expect GDP to be unchanged in July, as services output and industrial production stagnate.
  • Activity in the construction sector likely fell, following the lead from chronically weak business sentiment.
  • Our call points to quarter-to-quarter growth of 0.2% in Q3, below the MPC’s forecast, with risks skewed up.

4 September 2025 UK Monitor Bullish PMI in August suggests GDP growth at potential in Q3

  • The PMI rose to a 12-month high in August, boosted by falling policy uncertainty.
  • The PMI signals 0.3% quarter-to-quarter GDP growth in Q3, matching the MPC’s forecast.
  • The MPC’s hands will be tied for the rest of 2025, as growth at potential limits spare capacity emerging.

3 September 2025 UK Monitor CPI Preview 1: holding at 3.8% in August as food prices jump

  • We expect CPI inflation to hold at 3.8% in August, as a jump in food prices offsets a correction in airfares.
  • We see upside risk to our call after strong flash Eurozone food CPI inflation.
  • Gilts suffer from a global sell-off and UK-specific risks; Ms. Reeves needs to aim for proper fiscal headroom.

2 September 2025 UK Monitor Back to school: solid growth, sticky inflation, but job falls pose a risk

  • GDP growth beat consensus again in Q2, and surveys point to improving momentum so far in Q3.
  • Services inflation is proving sticky, as wage growth remains far too strong to deliver 2% inflation.
  • Job surveys were weaker than we expected but continue to point to payroll falls easing.

UK Datanote: UK Money & Credit, July 2025

  • In one line: Solid credit flows and rising mortgage approvals signal confidence amongst business and households.

UK Datanote: U.K. Nationwide House Prices, August 2025

  • In one line: The housing market is still stuttering after April’s stamp-duty hike, but prices will rise in H2.

UK Datanote: UK Final Manufacturing PMI, August 2025

  • In one line: The fall in the Manufacturing PMI looks like a blip, sentiment should improve as tariff uncertainty abates.

29 August 2025 UK Monitor Sticky rates and fiscal risks to keep gilt yields elevated

  • The yield curve has steepened sharply since our last gilt market update in April, driven by higher real rates.
  • A reduction in the pace of QT from October has the potential to support the long end at the margin.
  • Acute fiscal risks mean we raise our year-end target for yields across the curve.

UK Datanote: UK Public Finances, July 2025

  • In one line:The Chancellor will still have to raise taxes in October despite borrowing matching official forecasts.

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

  • In one line: Consumers’ confidence to stay rangebound for the rest of the year.

UK Datanote: U.K. CBI Industrial Trends Survey, August 2025

  • In one line: Manufacturing activity looks subdued but stable, it should recover in H2.

28 August 2025 UK Monitor BoE to slow the pace of QT in 2025/26 to £70B

  • Cautious guidance and strain on long-dated gilts suggest the MPC will slow the pace of QT.
  • We expect rate-setters to opt for a reduced pace of £70B-per-year for the next 12 months from October.
  • Level of reserves in the system is high, but use of the short-term repo facility indicates demand for liquidity.

27 August 2025 UK Monitor Insolvencies holding steady despite the barrage of headwinds

  • The insolvency rate remains low and steady, indicating that corporate distress is contained.
  • Leading indicators suggest that insolvencies will remain around current levels in the coming months.

  • In one line: Growth will match the MPC’s expectations in Q3.

  • In one line: House prices are recovering quickly from the stamp duty hike and will continue to rise in H2.

  • In one line: Another hawkish blow to the MPC means no more cuts this year.

22 August 2025 UK Monitor PMI suggests growth will match the MPC's call of 0.3% in Q3

  • The PMI beat expectations and rose to a 12-month high in August.
  • August’s flash PMI is consistent with quarter-to-quarter growth of 0.3% in Q3.
  • Sticky inflation and strong growth mean the MPC will need to stay on hold for the rest of 2025.
