Bank of England's Carney - these are not normal times, Brexit will redefine UK relation with largest trade and investment partner

  • It isn't where inflation is now, but where it's going that concerns us

  • Time has come to ease our foot off the accelerator

  • Domestic inflationary pressures are likely to build

  • Interest rate are one of many influences on exchange rate and other asset prices

  • Households are generally well positioned for a rate rise

  • Sheer novelty of first increase in bank rate creates some uncertainty about impact, but no reason to expect it to be larger than normal

The Bank of England hike interest rate for the first time in 10 years. Decision expected by the market

The Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) sets monetary policy to meet the 2% inflation target, and in a way that helps to sustain growth and employment. At its meeting ending on 1 November 2017, the MPC voted by a majority of 7-2 to increase Bank Rate by 0.25 percentage points, to 0.5%. The Committee voted unanimously to maintain the stock of sterling non-financial investment-grade corporate bond purchases, financed by the issuance of central bank reserves, at £10 billion. The Committee also voted unanimously to maintain the stock of UK government bond purchases, financed by the issuance of central bank reserves, at £435 billion.

UK construction PMI rose more than expected in October

UK construction companies signalled that business conditions remained subdued during October. Output growth was largely confined to house building, which partly offset lower volumes of civil engineering and commercial activity. Moreover, the balance of construction firms expecting an increase in business activity over the next 12 months eased to its weakest since December 2012. Caution in terms of the outlook for construction workloads meant that employment numbers increased at one of the slowest rates seen over the past four years.

At 50.8 in October, up from 48.1 in September, the seasonally adjusted IHS Markit/CIPS UK Construction Purchasing Managers' Index moved back above the 50.0 no-change mark. However, the latest reading was weaker than the post-crisis trend (54.7) and signalled only a marginal rise in overall construction output.

Eurozone manufacturing PMI at record high

The eurozone manufacturing sector started the final quarter on a strong footing. Growth of both output and new orders remained elevated, while the pace of job creation accelerated to a survey-record high.

The final IHS Markit Eurozone Manufacturing PMI rose to an 80-month high of 58.5 in October, up from 58.1 in September and slightly below the earlier flash estimate of 58.6. The headline PMI has signalled expansion in each month since July 2013.

Germany’s manufacturing sector continued to grow strongly at the start of the fourth quarter

Germany's manufacturing sector continued to grow strongly at the start of the fourth quarter, according to the latest PMI survey data from IHS Markit and BME. Production and new orders rose sharply in October, and goods producers upped the rate of job creation to the fastest since April 2011 in order to support the higher level of activity. Supply chain pressures further intensified, however, with the incidence of delivery delays among the most widespread on record and manufacturers facing sharply rising purchase prices.

October's PMI reading was 60.6, unchanged on September's 77-month high. The intermediate and investment goods sectors were again the best performers, with the consumer goods category continuing to lag behind.

The Spanish manufacturing sector gained further growth momentum during October - Markit

The Spanish manufacturing sector gained further growth momentum during October, with sharp and accelerated rises in output, new orders and employment recorded. Firms responded to higher workloads by increasing purchasing activity, in turn leading to one of the fastest rises in input stocks in the survey's history. Meanwhile, inflationary pressures gathered pace amid reports of raw material shortages. This also contributed to longer suppliers' delivery times.

The PMI increased to 55.8 in October, up from 54.3 in September and the highest reading since May 2015. In fact, the rate of improvement in the health of the sector was the joint-fastest since the financial crisis.

Consumer sentiment in Switzerland remains above average - SECO

At -2 points, the overall index is virtually unchanged in October compared to the previous quarter (-3 points). Continued optimism regarding economic development and unemployment are supporting the positive outlook in particular, while expectations regarding the financial situation of households remain below average. This indicates that consumers' perceptions have barely changed since the July survey, although there has been a significant increase in anticipated price trends.
