  • We expect ‘final’ payrolls to fall by 15K month-to-month in December, but hiring will improve in 2026.
  • The LFS unemployment rate will drop to 5.0% in November, but that still likely overplays job weakness.

UK Datanote: Construction PMI, December 2025

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

  • In one line: Look past the dissapointing headline, because forward-looking balances improved and price pressures strengthened.

8 January 2026 UK Monitor CPI Preview 1: ticking up to 3.3% as tobacco duty rises

  • We expect CPI inflation to tick up to 3.3% in December, from 3.2%, as tobacco duties rise.

  • Q3 GDP growth was unrevised at 0.1% quarter-to-quarter, down from 0.2% in Q2.
