UK Unemployment Rate Rises Marginally

UK Unemployment Rate Rises Marginally

The UK unemployment rate rose only marginally in the first quarter, data from the Office for National Statistics showed Tuesday.
The ILO jobless rate came in at 3.9 percent, well below economists' forecast of 4.4 percent. The ONS said the unemployment rate was 0.1 percentage points higher than a year earlier and 0.1 percentage points higher than the previous quarter.



At the same time, the employment rate in the three months to March reached a joint-record high of 76.6 percent, which was 0.6 percentage points higher than a year earlier. Today's labor force survey estimates for January to March period remained mostly unaffected by the impact of the coronavirus, the ONS said.

Data showed that average earnings including bonus grew 2.4 percent from last year, slower than the expected 2.6 percent. Excluding bonus, average earnings advanced 2.7 percent annually, slightly faster than the forecast of 2.6 percent.

In April, the claimant count rate rose to a seasonally adjusted 5.8 percent from 3.5 percent a month ago. The number of jobless claims increased sharply by 856,500 in April.

Downturn in UK private sector continues in May; "the recovery will be measured in years not months"

Downturn in UK private sector continues in May; "the recovery will be measured in years not months"

UK private sector output remained on a steep downward trajectory in May due to business shutdowns amid the coronavirus, or Covid-19, pandemic, according to the flash survey results published by IHS Markit, on Thursday.


The flash IHS Markit/Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply composite output index rose to 28.9 in May from 13.8 in April. The score was also above the expected 25.7.

Nonetheless, the latest reading signaled a far steeper pace of contraction than at the worst point of the global financial crisis.

The services Purchasing Managers' Index came in at 27.8 versus 13.4 in April. The reading was forecast to rise to 25.0.

The manufacturing PMI advanced to 40.6 in May from 32.6 in the previous month. The expected level was 36.0.

"While the quarterly rate of decline looks likely to peak at around 20% in the second quarter, the recovery will be measured in years not months," Chris Williamson, chief business economist at IHS Markit, said.

U.K. economy contracts by record 20.4%


GDP contracted a record 20.4% in April, the largest monthly fall on record, as businesses and workers reeled under a lockdown designed to control the coronavirus pandemic. In the three months to April, gross domestic product contracted by 10.4 per cent from the previous three-month-period, the Office for National Statistics said on Friday.

The Bank of England and the country's budget office have warned that Britain could be heading for its deepest recession in three centuries this year.

From forexcrunch article :

  • "Meanwhile, Tuesday’s mixed UK employment details did little to provide any meaningful impetus. According to the report, the unemployment rate held steady at 3.9% during the three months to April as compared to rise to 4.5% anticipated. The positive reading was largely negated by higher-than-expected Claimant Count Change, which came in at 528.9K, and an upward revision of the previous month’s reading to 1032.7K."

  • past data is 28.9
  • forecast data is 46.0
  • actual data is 55.3 according to the latest press release

if actual > forecast (or previous value) = good for currency (for GBP in our case)

[GBP - Construction PMI] = Level of a diffusion index based on surveyed purchasing managers in the construction industry.

==========

From official report :

  • "June data pointed to a sharp turnaround in the performance of the UK construction sector as the phased restart of work on site helped to lift output volumes and boost business confidence. At the same time, new orders stabilised after three months of sharp declines and purchasing activity expanded at the fastest rate since December 2015. The headline seasonally adjusted IHS Markit/CIPS UK Construction Total Activity Index jumped to 55.3 in June, from 28.9 in May, to signal a strong increase in total construction output. Moreover, the latest reading signalled the steepest pace of expansion since July 2018. Higher levels of business activity were overwhelmingly linked to the reopening of the UK construction supply chain following stoppages and business closures during the early stages of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic."
