Headline data broadly in line; underlying data a bit softer; little for BOE here

  • No real market reaction with the headline quarterly GDP and monthly GDP both in line with consensus expectations.
  • The breakdown is disappointing for quarterly GDP. Consumption was softer than expected, as was investment while government spending was higher. Exports were stronger, but imports also grew significantly.
  • Looking at the monthly breakdown, services were soft (falling -0.1%M/M, driven by soft retail / wholesale trade) while manufacturing and construction were both stronger than expected). The monthly trade balance was a bit worse than expected.
  • The ONS does note that there was industrial action in some industries - highlighting the junior doctors strikes impacting human health output (within services).
  • Nothing really here to move the dial for the BOE.
