28 Nov 2022 UK Monitor Sterling is Not Out of the Woods Yet

Sterling's rally has been driven by the elimination of the fiscal risk premium, which we doubt will return...

16 Nov 2022 UK Monitor Stable Employment in Q3 Shouldn't Undermine Conviction in Future Falls

  • Employment essentially held steady in Q3, despite the fall in GDP; vacancies have remained at a high level too.
  • But the rise in corporate borrowing costs looks set to be sharp enough to spark a wave of redundancies next year.
  • Wage growth was far too strong for the MPC too tolerate in September, but timelier data point to a slowdown.
