The earlier timing of Easter seems to have negatively impacted year-on-year retail sales in April, according to our latest #DTS. Retail conditions will likely improve later this year, though, due to lower inflation

Looking at the quarter as a whole, it looks like the retail sector will have contributed +0.1pp to GDP growth - adding further weight to the UK having exited the "recession" seen H2 2023 In the words of one of the UK's biggest grocers: every little helps🛒

CPI inflation fell to 3.2% in March, the lowest since September 2021. However, the fall was slower than most forecasters – including the Bank of England – expected (both predicting a decline to 3.1%)
Good article by @dsmitheconomics. The furlough scheme was an important policy evolved according to our health and economic recovery. It was improved by working with business & unions. A great example of collaboration between policymakers and @The_TUC @CBItweets and others

At this evening's @resfoundation event, CBI CEO @RainNewtonSmith joined @TorstenBell & @nyecominetti to mark 25 years of the minimum wage. Rain outlined the CBI's calls for a holistic Living Standards Strategy fit for today's economy. Read on here: brnw.ch/21wIhMO
Expectations for growth have picked up notably over our business surveys - which chime with the upturn seen in the PMIs over Q1. Some glimmer of light, after a run of pretty dire data across over the last year-and-a-half

The stabilisation of retail sales in March should give some hope that the sector’s downturn is bottoming out. The earlier timing of Easter will likely mean weaker year-on-year sales in April, but easing inflation should support retail spending going forward

NEW Bank holds interest rates at 5.25% again… As Governor Andrew Bailey says “not yet” on rate cuts… But zero votes for a rise for the first time since 2021… Incremental move to cut
CPI inflation continued to fall in February, to 3.4% - a little lower than consensus expectations (3.5%), and marking the slowest rate of inflation since September 2021

The smaller than expected fall in March inflation cannot be dismissed as early Easter volatility. Air fares were weak, so were ferry prices. Underlying pressures, on the MPC's definition, ticked up again. After yesterday's strong wages the MPC confidence won't be rising.
The latest version of WhatsApp has capped the T in “typing…” and it is ruining human interaction for me.
UK regular pay growth still running at 6 percent - way above the 3-4pc which would be consistent with 2pc inflation. Pay growth has fallen by less than 2 percentage pts from a peak of 7.9 pc last year. A long way to go before wage increases fall back to a sustainable rate.
UK Labour Market (Feb) Unemployment Rate: 4.2% vs. 4.0% exp. (prior 3.9%) Avg Earnings - inc. bonus (3MoY): 5.6% vs. 5.5% exp. (prior 5.6%) Avg Earnings - ex. bonus (3MoY): 6.0% vs. 5.8% exp. (prior 6.1%)
Bank of England's incoming deputy governor Clare Lombardelli rejects claims of 'deep state' interference after Liz Truss's mini-Budget: 'What people were doing was their job, whether that was at the Bank of elsewhere.'
The Bernanke Review of BoE forecasting and communication makes for interesting reading: bankofengland.co.uk/independent-ev…. I will leave others to make judgments on the tone, but these were the points - amongst the 12 Recommendations - that stood out for me (1/n)
The review considers the fan charts (pretty damning) & then something that I chuckled at: "Leaving decisions on this issue to future deliberations" on merits of UK "dot plot". This has all the hallmarks of there being informal pushback (ahead of publication) on stronger wording!
