Interest rate cut hopes fade amid stubbornly-high wage growth
Hopes that the Bank of England will cut interest rates in the autumn faded yesterday despite dismal employment figures suggesting the jobs market remains under pressure. Figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed unemployment in the three months to June remained at 4.7 per cent – the same as the previous month and the highest since 2021. And the number of employees on UK payrolls has fallen for six months in a row including a decline of 8,000 in July. The downturn has been widely blamed on Labour's national insurance and minimum wage hikes, policies that make it more expensive for employers to hire staff. However, economists noted that the pace of the deterioration has slowed compared with previous months. And wage growth – when stripping out bonuses – remained stubbornly high at 5 per cent, a potential cause of inflation that may worry rate-setters on the Bank's Monetary Policy Committee. The figures prompted markets to scale back hopes of an interest rate cut later this year, in a blow to mortgage holders. A September move is seen as almost certain not to happen and the chances of a rate reduction by the end of the year are little better than 50/50. Sterling climbed by a cent against the dollar to more than $1.35 – in a boost to holidaymakers taking a summer break – and also spiked against the euro to almost €1.16. Matt Swannell, chief economic advisor to the EY ITEM Club, said: 'No change to interest rates at the MPC's September meeting looks almost certain, while a skipped cut at the November meeting is a distinct possibility.' The Bank of England is divided over interest rates because the economy and jobs market appears to be stagnating while at the same time inflation is stubbornly high. Some MPC members think rates need to be cut to offset the effects of a downturn while others are more worried about inflation and think rates should stay high. That led to an unprecedented split last week when they voted by the narrowest of margins to cut rates to 4 per cent. But the meeting highlighted that the Bank is increasingly worried about inflation, which it now expects to hit 4 per cent later this year, double its 2 per cent target. Governor Andrew Bailey cautioned that any subsequent rate cuts must be done 'gradually and carefully'. Andrew Wishart at Berenberg said yesterday: 'Pay growth remains well above the 3 per cent year-on-year rate which is usually consistent with 2 per cent consumer price inflation. We thus expect the Bank to keep some pressure on the brakes by holding off from another interest rate cut until 2026.' James Smith, UK economist at ING Bank, said: 'The Bank can still afford to cut rates in November, though after last week's hawkish meeting, this call has become less clear-cut.'

Which households are eligible for £150 discount on energy bills
The government is urging households to check their eligibility for the expanded Warm Home Discount scheme. The scheme offers a one-off £150 discount on domestic energy bills, automatically applied between October and March. Around six million people are expected to receive the payment this winter, an increase of 2.7 million from last year. Eligibility now requires the bill payer to receive an eligible means-tested benefit and be named on the energy bill. Energy suppliers will check eligibility based on records as of 24 August, meaning households have a limited time to ensure correct details are on their bill to receive the discount promptly.

Young people could soon travel on buses for free
The Transport Select Committee has recommended that the government introduce free bus travel for all under-22s across England. This proposal aims to improve young people's access to work and skills opportunities and encourage long-term public transport use. The committee highlighted England 's inconsistent local youth concessions, contrasting them with national free travel schemes in Scotland and discounted fares in Wales. The report identified public transport as a significant barrier to employment for young people, particularly in areas with limited services. The committee also urged the government to reform local bus service funding and establish a national ambition for minimum public transport connectivity.
