British Pound traded at 1.2715 against USD at 9:00 am.
The U.K. wage growth accelerated more than expected in the three months to October supporting a case for more gradual interest rate reductions next year as pay increases could revive inflationary pressures. Excluding bonuses, annual growth in average earnings came in at 5.2% compared to 4.9% in the three months to September, the Office for National Statistics said Tuesday. Economists had forecast an increase of 5.0%. Earnings including bonuses also grew 5.2%, faster than the forecast of 4.6%. The unemployment rate held steady at 4.3% during the August to October period. The rate came in line with expectations. Payroll employees increased by 24,000 in October from September.
Further, data showed that vacancies decreased in the quarter for the 29 consecutive period. The estimated number of vacancies fell from 31,000 in the quarter to 818,000 from September to November. In November, the Bank of England had reduced its benchmark rate for the second time this year citing the continued progress in disinflation. The bank rate currently stands at 4.75% and is widely expected to maintain the status quo on December 19. The wage data will dominate the next couple of interest rate decisions, ING economist James Smith said. Furthermore, the BoE was already on course for a pause at this week's meeting long before these numbers emerged, the economist added. 12/17/2024 - 08:04:00 (RTTNews)
