The infoshot to help kick-start your week
Last Week
- UK gross domestic product remained flat in the third quarter with growth down from the 0.2 per cent expansion seen in the previous quarter. The figure remains in line with the Bank of England expectations and suggested that higher borrowing costs have slowed spending within the economy.
- UK gilts rallied last Tuesday after senior Bank of England policy maker, Hugh Pill, noted that market expectations of the Bank of England could starting to cut interest rates from next summer were not unreasonable. The 10-year gilt yield fell to the lowest level since September, to 4.27 per cent on Tuesday but slowly rose again at the end of the week.
- The European Central Bank (ECB) president, Christine Lagarde, noted that the ECB will not begin cutting rates for the next couple of quarters at a Financial Times conference on Friday. Lagarde added that European inflation could still rebound from its recent two-year low figure if there are further energy supply shocks.
