Quick Glance: Inflation down in German states, signaling national decline

  • German companies expected the lowest prices in three years in March, with forecasts of inflation falling below the European Central Bank's target in the upcoming months.

  • An increasing number of ECB policymakers have backed rate cuts, with a June meeting appearing as the most probable time for action, although a meeting is also scheduled for this month.

Quick Glance: Rising Real Earnings Growth Raises Concerns at Bank of England
  • An unexpectedly weaker decline in the pace of wage increases has led to real earnings growth reaching its highest level in nearly two and a half years when considering inflation, according to the latest official data.

  • Recent official figures indicate that average regular pay without bonuses was at 6% in the three months to February compared to the previous year.

  • The broader ONS statistics revealed an increase in the UK's unemployment rate from 3.9% to 4.2%, with caution due to ongoing efforts to enhance the reliability of employment data.

  • The forthcoming inflation data expected on Wednesday is likely to demonstrate further progress towards the Bank's objectives and the potential for a decrease from the current 5.25% interest rate.
