PM acknowledges need for clarity on winter fuel payment changes
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has said "the sooner" his government provides clarity on changes to the winter fuel payment "the better".Speaking to the BBC's Today programme, he reiterated that ministers were reviewing which pensioners should receive the payment but added he wanted to be "absolutely clear where the money is coming from" before setting out the details. After coming to power in July last year, the Labour government announced it was withdrawing the annual payment - worth up to £300 - from more than 10 million last month Sir Keir said he would be partially reversing that decision, making changes to allow "more pensioners" to qualify again. The government is yet to spell out which pensioners will regain their entitlement to the money, although Treasury Minister Darren Jones has said millionaires should not be getting "subsidy for their energy bills" and that payments would be "targeted to those that need it the most". An announcement could come at the Budget in the autumn or even as early as next week when Chancellor Rachel Reeves delivers her Spending Review. Asked if he still believed his government had been right to restrict winter fuel payments last summer, Sir Keir said he had inherited an economy that was "completely broken"."It was our duty to stabilise the economy and to fill in that £22bn black hole. I'm not going to resile from that."His U-turn came after pressure from some Labour MPs, who are also expressing concern about the two-child benefit cap and proposed cuts to disability on whether he would consider increasing taxes to raise more money, the prime minister said the UK's underlying problem in recent years had been "flat or anaemic growth"."I don't think you can tax yourself to growth - we have got high taxes as it is."Reform UK, the Liberal Democrats and the Green Party have called for the winter fuel payments to be restored to all pensioners. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has said "millionaire" pensioners should not be eligible. Previously, the winter fuel payment had been paid to all pensioners regardless of income or wealth. Households with a pensioner under 80 received an annual lump sum of £200, rising to £300 for pensioners over taking office, Labour restricted the payment to those pensioners who qualify for pension credit and other income-related benefits - a move which saved an estimated £ income threshold for pension credit, the main benefit to qualify to continue to receive winter fuel payments, is currently £11,800 a year for individuals and £18,023 for pensioner a new way of increasing the number of eligible pensioners is likely to be tricky for the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) said creating a new means-test would create "hassle" for pensioners and result in many not claiming the think tank, the Resolution Foundation, has estimated that expanding the threshold pension credit by 10% could cost £2.5bn.

ECB faces surging euro conundrum
LONDON, June 2 (Reuters) - While the European Central Bank keeps cutting interest rates, the euro keeps rising, as a transatlantic capital reversal upends relative rate shifts and threatens to force the ECB into further easing. The ECB is widely expected to lower its main borrowing rate on Thursday to 2%, half what it was at its peak a year ago and less than half the Federal Reserve equivalent. It's also back to what the central bank broadly considers a 'neutral' level, meaning it neither spurs nor reins in the economy. Real, or inflation-adjusted, ECB rates will be back to zero for the first time in almost two years. What's remarkable is that after eight consecutive ECB cuts and with the prospect of zero or even negative real rates ahead, the euro has surged more than 10% against the dollar in just four months and 5% against a trade-weighted currency basket of the euro zone's major trading partners. That nominal effective euro index is now at record highs, with the 'real' version at its strongest level in more than 10 years. The currency has surged even though there has been no net change in the gap between two-year government bond yields on either side of the Atlantic - usually a reliable indicator of shifts in the euro/dollar exchange rate. The culprits behind this trend are pretty clear: Donald Trump's tariff wars, fears of capital flight from dollar assets due to a host of concerns about U.S. policies and institutions, and Germany's historic fiscal boost that has transformed the continent's outlook. But if even a fraction of the trillions of dollars of European investment capital in the United States is indeed coming back home as many suspect, the ECB has a curious conundrum ahead. How does it handle both the disinflationary effects of such a rapid currency rise alongside the domestic demand it could catalyse? Lower rates with the prospect of further easing ahead are clearly having little impact on the euro. Most ECB watchers expect one or two more cuts after Thursday while money markets have a 'terminal rate' around 1.75%, the low end of the ECB's estimated range of 'neutral'. Indeed, if much of the capital repatriation from overweight U.S. holdings is in equity investments, then lower ECB rates may even accelerate the outflows from the U.S. by lifting growth prospects for cheaper stocks in Europe. The prospect of higher German and pan-European borrowing should sustain longer-term fixed income returns as well, expanding the pool of 'safe' investments. The ECB could revert to protesting about 'excessive' euro gains, although the impact might be limited unless it is prepared to back its words with action, and there is a risk it could backfire for the reasons just mentioned. If anything, the ECB appears to be encouraging the investment shift and the euro's role as a reserve currency - in part to help with the bloc's massive capital needs in retooling its military, digital and energy sectors. In a pointed speech in Berlin last week, ECB chief Christine Lagarde insisted there was an opening for a "global euro moment", where the single currency becomes a viable alternative to the dollar, earning the region immense benefits if governments can strengthen the bloc's financial and security architecture. The scenario may be seen as a nice problem to have, but there will be more than a little disquiet among the region's big exporting nations about a soaring exchange rate in the middle of a trade war. ECB hawks and doves will also have to thrash out whether continued easing to offset disinflationary currency risks only stokes domestic inflation over the longer term - not least with a fiscal lift coming down the road into next year. What seems clear is that the ECB's new economic forecasts due for release on Thursday will have taken into account the 7% euro/dollar gain and near 10% drop in global oil prices since its last set of projections in early March. Morgan Stanley economists reckon that even if the central bank tweaks its core inflation forecasts higher, the new outlook could well show headline inflation undershooting its 2% target from mid-2025 to early 2027 - even while nudging up 2025's GDP growth view. In truth, any forecasts at this point are fingers in the wind with few central banks or major investors having a clue where U.S. tariffs or retaliatory trade war actions will end up. But while global trade and investment nerves abound, the ECB may be relatively powerless to cap the euro. Whether that argues for stasis or even more easing is the big headache it faces.
