The UK economic landscape is currently marked by mixed signals, particularly regarding inflation and labour market dynamics. The Bank of England's (“BoE”) more hawkish member, Catherine Mann, remains sceptical about the disinflation process, highlighting persistent wage pressures that could take years to subside. Despite recent inflation data showing a slight dip, with July's rate coming in at 2.2%, lower than expected, and a softening in services prices, Mann's concerns echo broader caution within the BoE. Market expectations have echoed the recent cooling of wage growth and inflation, which now fully price in two BoE rate cuts by year-end, although the timing of these cuts remains debated.
