Pound strengthens after British jobs data
The pound strengthened against the euro for the fourth session in a row on Tuesday after British labour market data which analysts said would not affect the Bank of England's cautious stance on interest rate cuts due to high inflation. The euro was last down 0.24% on the pound at 86.24 pence, its lowest since late July. The pair have been more volatile this year than last, when the euro and pound traded largely in lockstep, as the Bank of England and European Central Bank have been cutting interest rates at different speeds. The British currency also strengthened against the dollar, gaining 0.28% to $1.3469, though that may change after U.S. inflation data at 1230 GMT which will shape expectations of Federal Reserve policy. The domestic news of the day for the pound was data showing Britain's jobs market weakened in July but less sharply than in previous months. Wage growth, meanwhile, stayed strong in the three months to June, other data showed, underscoring why the Bank of England is so cautious about cutting interest rates. "In any other (developed market) economy, a print as seen today would likely cause alarm bells around the state of the labour market. In the UK, however, this print is, per the initial market reaction, seen as relatively robust," analysts at Morgan Stanley wrote. "The difference, of course, is the central bank's reaction function. The BoE ... seems firmly focused on inflation and spot pay data." The BoE cut rates by 25 basis points last week as expected, but only by the narrowest margin - four of the nine rate setters voted to keep rates on hold due to concerns about elevated inflation, partly due to wage growth. Markets now only see around a 50% chance of a further rate cut this year. (Reporting by Alun John; Editing by Hugh Lawson)

Car shipper says US tariff haze still affecting auto trade flows
Europe's car exporters are still struggling with uncertainty over U.S. tariffs despite last month's trade deal, Wallenius Wilhelmsen, the operator of one of the world's largest car-carrier fleets, told Reuters on Tuesday. The U.S. and European Union struck a trade deal in late July that saw U.S. import tariffs on most goods from Europe, including cars, set at 15%. Cars had initially faced a 27.5% levy after U.S. President Donald Trump hiked tariffs this year. However, the new 15% rate has not yet been implemented for cars, meaning that Wallenius customers such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Volvo Cars still face the higher rate. The absence of an executive order from Trump lowering the autos tariff has left the industry holding its breath for potential last-minute changes. "So far we actually do not know exactly what the tariff level will be. Our customers do not know either, so it is too early to say what they'll do," Wallenius CEO Lasse Kristoffersen said following the company's quarterly results. While carmakers raced earlier this year to ship cars to the U.S. ahead of the tariff hike to 27.5%, the opposite happened at the start of the second quarter, Kristoffersen said. "We saw that they held more back in the start of the second quarter but that volumes increased throughout the quarter," he said. (Reporting by Marie Mannes. Editing by Terje Solsvik and Mark Potter)
