10 Oct 2022 UK Monitor August GDP and Labour Market Data to Point to Stagnation

  • We look for a small 0.1% month-to-month rise in GDP
    in August; that’s probably the last rise for this year.
  • The single-month measure of employment fell in June and July, but surveys signal modest growth in August.
  • Recent wage indicators have painted a mixed picture; expect year-over-year growth to rise only modestly.

16 Sept 2022 UK Monitor The Improved Inflation Outlook Implies the MPC will Stick to a 50bp Hike

  • We think the MPC will raise Bank Rate by 50bp next week, despite other central banks rushing ahead...
  • ...Q3 GDP is set to undershoot the MPC’s latest forecast, while the inflation outlook has improved greatly.
  • Proposed tax cuts are too small to move the inflation needle, and likely will be partly funded by spending cuts.

14 Sept 2022 UK Monitor Wage Growth Remains too High for the MPC, But that will Change in 2023

  • Employment has stopped rising, but labour market slack hasn't accumulated, due to increasing inactivity.
  • We expect labour demand to remain flat but the workforce to grow, as immigration and participation recover.
  • For now, wage growth is too hot for the MPC, but building slack and falling CPI inflation will slow it in 2023.

9 Sept 2022 UK Monitor A Recession Now Looks Unlikely, following Bold Energy Price Action

  • The average household will spend less on energy over the next six months than during the last six.
  • So a winter recession now looks unlikely, and the MPC can return to focussing on core CPI inflation.
  • Fiscal policy will stabilise demand, not lift it; job market slack still looks set to emerge, limiting rate hikes.

7 Sept 2022 UK Monitor July GDP to Show the Economy has Slowed, but is Not in Recession Yet

  • We look for a modest 0.3% month-to-month rise in July
    GDP, leaving it only 0.1% up from three months earlier.
  • The composite PMI has pointed to stronger growth, but it excludes the distribution and health sectors.
  • Revised GDP estimates later this month likely will show that economic activity still is below its pre-Covid peak.

2 Sept 2022 UK Monitor The Inventory of Unsold Properties will Rise Over the Next Year

  • Low unemployment means few homeowners will be forced to sell up, and construction already is declining.
  • Landlords, however, likely will struggle to raise rents in line with the jump in their mortgage payments.
  • We expect the stock of homes on the market, therefore, to rise over the next year, weighing on house prices.
