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

  • In one line: Dovish DMP but the survey was run in the eye of the storm, business responses would likely be different now.

  • In one line: The Construction PMI improves but signals falling activity, it will remain weak for some time.

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

8 May 2025 UK Monitor CPI preview: strong food prices bump up our April call to 3.6%CPI

  • We expect CPI inflation to jump to 3.6% in April, from 2.6%, matching the MPC’s February forecast.
  • Ofgem’s utility price hike, a massive water-bill increase, tax hikes and indexed prices drive the rise.
  • Inflation will likely stay above 3% until January, despite recent falls in oil and natural gas prices.

7 May 2025 UK Monitor Price pressures too strong for the MPC to shift to full 'dove mode'

  • Uncertainty hammered the PMI in April, suggesting a chance that UK GDP will fall in Q2.
  • The MPC will retain some caution, however, as the PMI shows underlying inflation accelerating.
  • Rate-setters can get away with a couple of precautionary rate cuts in May and June.

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

  • In one line: House prices fall in April as the rush to beat stamp duty increases unwinds, they will rise in H2.

1 May 2025 UK Monitor MPC preview: all about the likely new downside scenario

  • We expect the MPC to cut Bank Rate by 25bp next week, with two members favouring a 50bp reduction.
  • The MPC will likely judge that lower market expectations for Bank Rate are mostly warranted.
  • High uncertainty will sap growth, and a new disinflationary scenario should support faster rate cuts.

30 April 2025 UK Monitor Labour market preview: Slowing jobs growth, rising unemployment

  • We expect the initial April payrolls estimate to show a fall of 30K month-to-month.
  • LFS unemployment will likely tick up to 4.5% in March, and LFS employment should gain 166K.

  • In one line: Consumers' major purchases held up, but downside risks to the retail spending build.

  • In one line:Retail sales were heating up before President Trump’s tariffs upended the outlook.

25 April 2025 UK Monitor Labour market still cooling gradually, but downside risks rising

  • A swathe of data on the labour market indicates that the job market is cooling, not cratering.
  • But the balance of risks has shifted to a faster shake-out after President Trump’s tariffs.
  • We expect the unemployment rate to rise to 5.1% in 2026 as the trade war dampens GDP growth.

UK Datanote: UK Public Finances, March 2025

  • In one line:The public finances are weak heading into the trade war, difficult choices lay ahead for the Chancellor.

24 April 2025 UK Monitor MPC can cut rates back-to-back but will avoid a 50bp reduction

  • Mr. Trump’s tariffs and the resulting uncertainty have led the UK PMI to tank to its lowest since late 2022.
  • Rising price pressures and the PMI’s overreaction to uncertainty mean the MPC will retain some caution.
  • But downside growth risks mean we expect back-to-back, precautionary, rate cuts in May and June.

UK Datanote: U.K. Consumer Prices, March 2025

  • In one line: Erratic computer games and hotel prices drag inflation down, headline inflation will still likely jump to 3.5% in April.

UK Datanote: UK Labour Market Data, February / March 2025

  • In one line: Enough softening for the MPC to cut, but strong wage growth will keep rate setters cautious.

UK Datanote: U.K. Official House Price Index, February 2025

  • In one line: House prices rise in February but property price inflation will ease in Q2.

UK Datanote: U.K. BRC Retail Sales Monitor, March 2025
