By Jai Lakhani
LONDON (MNI) - The UK ONS preliminary estimates for the month of March has
industrial production at 0.1% m/m, -0.2% m/m for manufacturing and a dismal
-2.3% m/m for construction output. It would appear that analysts trust these
numbers with the MNI median matching the ONS numbers as well as a y/y growth in
industrial production, manufacturing and construction of 3%, 2.9% and -5.6%
respectively.

The trade balance has analyst anticipating a widening of the total trade
balance from stg -1 bn to stg -2 in March. The visible trade balance is also
expected to widen from stg -10.2 bn previously to stg -11.1 bn in March.
Moving to arguably the most widely anticipated data of the week, the Bank
of England MPC Policy decision. Except for one estimate, analysts appear to be
in full agreement that the the bank rate will remain unchanged at 0.5% in the
backdrop of very disappointing economic data.

Regarding Gilt Purchases and corporate bond purchases, analysts unanimously
agreed that both would remain unchanged from the March meeting at stg435 bn and
stg10 bn respectively. The composition of the rate hike vote suggests a 7-2 vote
in favour of keeping the bank rate unchanged with only one analyst estimate
arguing a unanimous vote in favour of keeping the bank rate unchanged.
