- In one line: Predictable correction after the strongest September in five years, the underlying trend is up.
- The MPC’s new guidance leaves us comfortable reiterating our call for a December rate cut.
- Rate-setters also point to a slower pace of cuts next year as Bank Rate approaches neutral…
- ...And room for only one more cut after December, unless GDP growth turns out weaker-than-expected.
- In one line: Reopening after the cyber attack boosts the manufacturing PMI, but the outlook remains challenging.
- We expect Budget tax hikes and spending cuts of £40B to deliver double the previous fiscal headroom.
- The devil is in the detail for the MPC, however, which likely needs to wait and see the Budget before acting.
- Firms are brushing off tax speculation; the PMI signals growth close to potential and stabilising jobs.
- We retain our Q3 GDP growth forecast of 0.2% quarter-to-quarter, as the activity data have held firm...
- ...But softer-than-expected inflation means we have brought forward our call for a rate cut to December.
