Trade war fears strengthen the case for faster interest rate cuts
May 2025
By Simon French, Chief Economist and Head of Research
On Thursday the Bank of England will almost certainly cut its headline interest rate by a quarter of a percent. In delivering its fourth such cut in nine months, the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) will take UK Bank Rate from 5.25% to 4.25%. This decision by the nine-person committee appears non-contentious. Financial markets are pricing a cut with a 97% likelihood.
UK’s mad energy policy is a potent deterrent to foreign investors
Apr 2025
By Simon French, Chief Economist and Head of Research
Conducting economic policy in a time of war - both a military one, and a mercantile one - is a huge challenge for any government. Ideological tenets that were forged in opposition, and at a time of near-zero interest rates, get ditched. They are replaced by pragmatism out of necessity.

US stock market slump is bad news for British pensions
Apr 2025
By Simon French, Chief Economist and Head of Research

Down 14% since 1 January, global investors have shifted their attention away from the US to more keenly valued markets across Europe, the UK, and Asia which are flat for the year. This is a story of heightened economic uncertainty - amplified by the recent US tariff announcements - as well as US stock market valuations that are widely priced for perfection. Investors are looking for safe harbours whilst the economic storm blows through. Perfection appears like a distant port.
