On May 6th, Matt Swannell of ITEM Club stated in a report that the rising activity in the UK services sector has exaggerated the actual strength of the UK economy. The UK services PMI rose to 52.7 in April, up from 50.5 the previous month. However, Swannell noted that weak consumer demand, rising inflation, and sluggish business investment against the backdrop of the energy crisis are expected to drag down economic growth from mid-2026. He pointed out that although economic activity has picked up somewhat, new orders have essentially stalled, while cost pressures continue to intensify. "We believe the Bank of England will weigh the accumulating price pressures against an increasingly fragile labor market and will therefore remain in a wait-and-see mode," Swannell said. He added that market risks are tilting towards a Bank of England rate hike this summer due to persistently high labor costs.
