- In one line: Slowing growth and easing price pressures skews risks towards rates on hold in 2026.
- In one line: Construction PMI likely too downbeat, but output still set to fall over the coming months.
- In one line:Car registrations resilient in May but demand will slow as higher borrowing costs bite.
- In one line: Easing price expectations and falling jobs raise the chances of the MPC keeping rates on hold.
- We expect CPI inflation to increase to 3.0% in May, from 2.8% in April.
- Airfares will recover, and last year’s vehicle-duty correction will boost recorded inflation.
- Motor fuel prices have peaked, but utility and food bills will push inflation to a peak of 3.6% in November.
- PMI services responses between the flash and final release were the most optimistic in five months.
- Political noise likely drove revisions, and underlying growth is probably still slowing.
- But the PMI tends to exaggerate growth slowdowns when uncertainty is high.
- In one line: Consumers and firms look solid in April even if some borrowing was front-running rate hikes.
- We see few signs of changing saving patterns since the Iran war started; households are rejigging assets.
- Strong mortgage approvals and corporate credit flows suggest some front-running of rate hikes.
- But strong April credit growth—after mortgage rates spiked—suggests underlying demand is firm.
- The unwinding of fuel-hoarding likely drove a 0.2% month-to-month fall in GDP growth in April.
- We see risks to our April call in both directions, from better weather and a resident doctors’ strike.

- In one line: House price inflation to gradually ease over the rest of the year.
- In one line: Manufacturing growth will slow as front-running unwinds, but price pressures are building.

- In one line: Limited fall in ex-petrol retail sales suggest consumption is slowing rather than collapsing.
- In one line: Early May sample period leaves confidence looking too rosy.
- In one line: Sharp output downturn leaves MPC more likely to hold in July.
- In one line: Inflation scotches a June hike, but most of the downside surprise was in erratic components that will rebound.
- In one line: In one line: Sharp payrolls fall will be revised much stronger, but with wages weakening too the MPC will stay on hold in June.
- The activity data has softened slightly over the past month, with the PMI dropping and payrolls tanking...
- ...Though surveys overreact to political noise, and we expect April payrolls to be revised up sharply.
- Still, a sharp drop in oil prices means we expect just one hike from the MPC, with risks skewed to no hikes.
GROWTH WOBBLES WHILE INFLATION JUMPS...
- …THE MPC WILL HOLD RATES AS LONG AS IT CAN
- The housing market has so far avoided a knee-jerk reaction to the latest energy price shock.
- But rising mortgage rates will limit house prices to 1.0% growth in 2026.
