UK Economy Stuns with 0.4% Growth in July
The UK economy showed unexpected resilience in July, expanding by 0.4% against forecasts of stagnation.
ING's Francesco Pesole remains unconvinced that this growth will lead to higher interest rates, stating 'Our baseline is still that the Bank of England won't hike at all.'
Pesole predicts a 'cliff-edge dovish repricing' for sterling if rates do not increase.
