- Private ex-bonus AWE should rise 0.5% month-to-month as pay growth slows only gradually.
- In one line: Rising car registrations signals recovering underlying economic activity.
- In one line: The Construction PMI will continue to recover as tariff uncertainty fades and Government investment soars.
- In one line: Happy days as growth improves and inflation slows; the MPC could welcome the news with another cut in August.
- In one line: Rebounding employment expectations suggest inflation pressure will remain stubborn.
- In one line: June’s downward revisions to the PMI’s sub-indices were likely driven by oil prices, sentiment will continue to improve.

- In one line: House prices fall in June but returning buyer demand will push up prices soon.
- In one line: Better balanced growth after revisions bodes well.
- U-turns scorch the Chancellor’s fiscal headroom, and appetite for corrective action seems limited.
- We expect ‘stealth tax’ hikes, some of which boost inflation, and a fudge of the fiscal rules in the Budget.

WEAK JOBS PUSHING THE MPC TO AN AUGUST CUT...
- …BUT ONLY ONE MORE CUT THIS YEAR IS THE RIGHT CALL
- We expect GDP to rise 0.1% month-to-month in May, as professional services activity rebounds.
- We still look for quarter-to-quarter growth of 0.2% in Q2, below the MPC’s latest projection, 0.3%.
- We remain upbeat on underlying growth, partly supporting our call for just one more rate cut in 2025.
- We expect CPI inflation to tick up to 3.5% in June from 3.4% in May, 0.1pp higher than the MPC expects.
- Surging food prices—the biggest three-month rise in two years—and motor fuel base effects boost inflation.
- Hot weather and a likely late CPI collection date pose upside risks to clothes prices.
- An upward revision to Q1 consumer spending growth gives a more solid base to economic growth.
- The household saving rate dip in Q1 is a sign of things to come, which should support consumer spending.
- Firms are borrowing again as all the “Liberation Day” surge in economic policy uncertainty has unwound.
- In one line: Manufacturing orders fall in June but the worst of the tariff-induced slowdown appears over.
- Official payroll data are vastly exaggerating the weakness in the job market, in our view.
- May’s payrolls reading is especially unreliable, while the official data have diverged hugely from surveys.
- Job vacancies seem to be stabilising, redundancies are low and jobless claims are down since October.
- Collapsing payrolls in May look inconsistent with stable or improving survey-based measures of jobs.
- The soft data suggest the worst of the slowdown caused by the payroll-tax hike is behind us.
- Stable economic growth, driven by less trade-related uncertainty, will give a hawkish tint to the job data.
- In one line: House prices fall in April, but the market will recover quickly.
- In one line: ONS vehicle duty correction cuts inflation, news was small, inflation pressures remain sticky.
- In one line:Public finances deteriorate in May, tax-hike speculation to mount over the summer.
