Datanotes Daily Monitor Chartbook

- Accelerating corporate borrowing growth and strong consumer credit bode well for August GDP.
- Bank lending to firms is rising at the fastest rate since at least 2012, if we ignore pandemic disruption.
- Solid credit flows and a robust housing market suggest interest rates are only slightly restrictive.
- In one line: Little news, as underlying services inflation settling in the low-4%'s will keep the MPC on hold for the rest of this year.
- In one line: A slightly more cautious MPC will keep rates on hold for the rest of the year.
- In one line: House price inflation will remain weak as the Budget weighs on sentiment.

- The November Budget represents a wild card for house prices, as rumours of property-tax hikes swirl.
- The PMI’s headline activity index fell in September and signals quarter-to-quarter growth of 0.1% in Q3...
- ...But the PMI has been more erratic lately than usual, so we retain our call for growth of 0.2% in Q3.
- Easing price pressures will encourage the MPC, but solid growth will limit emergence of spare capacity.
- The public finances deteriorated in August; borrowing is now drifting well above profile.
- Weak receipts account for most of the fiscal underperformance so far this year.
- We think the Government has to raise £25B to restore the paltry £9.9B of fiscal headroom.
- The MPC kept rates on hold at September’s meeting, as consensus and the markets expected.
- The minutes were fractionally more hawkish than in August; we continue to expect no more cuts this year.
- The pace of quantitative tightening will be slowed to £70B in 2025/26, from £100B in 2024/25.
- Lower airfare inflation offset higher food and motor fuels, leaving CPI inflation at 3.8% in August.
- Underlying services inflation accelerated to 4.3%, from 4.2% in July, where it will stay until the spring.
- We expect CPI inflation to hit 4.0% in September—with upside risk—and then ease only slowly.
- In one line: Modestly deanchored inflation expectations warrant caution from the MPC.
- In one line: The underlying trade balance fell erratically in July, but it will remain weak.
- In one line:Q3 growth on track for 0.2% quarter-to-quarter.
- Payroll falls are easing as firms complete their adjustment to tax and minimum wage hikes.
- Q2 workforce jobs data suggests payrolls exaggerate weakness, while the unemployment rate is steady.
- A stabilising labour market with firm wage growth will keep the MPC on hold for the rest of the year at least.
