UK preview: Feb-18 wages, Mar inflation and sales
- Tuesday’s labour market report is likely to reveal unemployment unchanged at 4.3%, while wage growth rises to 2.8% ex-bonuses and 3.0% inc-bonuses.- Inflation data on Wednesday for March are likely to soften slightly further on the CPI to 2.6%. However, compositional differences leave RPI at 3.6% in my forecast.
- Cold weather and an early Easter depress retail sales in March by 1%, in my view.
