Walker Crips' Market CommentaryDisinflation signals and political calculationsUK economic indicators pointed to persistent disinflation trends last week, even as uncertainty remained elevated. Bank of England ("BoE") Deputy Governor, Sarah Breeden, reinforced the case for policy easing, noting inflationary pressures are fading and labour market risks warrant caution. Several Monetary Policy Committee members echoed this sentiment in parliamentary appearances, with Swati Dhingra flagging downside risks to growth and Catherine Mann warning of tensions between rate cuts and quantitative tightening. The final composite Purchasing Managers' Index (“PMI”) in May improved to 50.3, led by a rebound in services, but backlogs declined and cost pressures persisted. The Confederation of British Indu...
2025-06-1008 minWalker Crips' Market CommentaryBrexit reboots, bonds react and Fresnillo shinesLast week, UK markets digested a slew of conflicting economic signals. April’s inflation unexpectedly rose to 3.5%, a 15-month high, driven by higher energy costs, tax changes and wage pressures, dampening expectations for further Bank of England (“BoE”) rate cuts. Gilt yields surged and the pound touched a two-year high. BoE Chief Economist Huw Pill warned against aggressive easing, citing persistent services inflation and weakening disinflation momentum, while policymaker Swati Dhingra defended her vote for a 0.5% cut, highlighting a long-term outlook. The Purchasing Managers' Index (“PMI”) data showed the private sector contracted slightly in May, dragged by manufacturing weakness, despite se...

The Economics ShowHow should central banks respond to US tariffs?US tariffs have sent financial markets into a frenzy in recent weeks, but how much should central bankers be taking trade into account when setting monetary policy? To find out, Soumaya Keynes sits down with Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee member Swati Dhingra – one of the committee’s more dovish members. They discuss why the UK’s open economy makes it more vulnerable to trade shocks, what Dhingra saw in the data that her MPC colleagues didn’t, and why she didn’t vote for an (even) sharper rate cut earlier this month.Further reading:Two B...
2025-05-1926 minWalker Crips' Market CommentaryBessent's selection as Trump's Treasury Secretary reassures marketsLast week, key economic updates highlighted mixed signals for the UK. Bank of England (“BoE”) Deputy Governor Clare Lombardelli expressed caution over wage growth trends, warning that a slowdown in wage disinflation might necessitate careful rate cut strategies. BoE official Swati Dhingra noted the UK is no longer an inflation outlier but stressed the difficulty of accurate inflation forecasting due to unreliable data. The Confederation of British Industry (“CBI”) painted a sombre picture, with surveys showing weakening sentiment in the retail and services sectors. Job cuts loom as firms grapple with tax hikes, while higher wages ahead of the holidays...

VoxTalk VaultsThe economics of BrexitSwati Dhingra, Karl Whelan, Luc Frieden interviewed by Tim Phillips, 29 June 2018
2 years on from the UK’s referendum vote to leave the EU, substantial questions about the path to Brexit remain. In this special edition of Vox Talks, Tim Phillips talks to Swati Dhingra, Karl Whelan, and Luc Frieden about how the process of Brexit negotiation is itself impacting UK households already, from food price inflation to bilateral trade relations across Europe. The data suggests these effects are not transitory, but will persist beyond the current climate of policy uncertainty.
