UK Job Weakness Should Worry BOE More Than Inflation
The yield premium the UK has to offer over US Treasuries to borrow for a decade has risen this summer to 40 basis points, double its average this year and a significant move given it's paid less than Uncle Sam on average during the past five years. Evidently, investors have concerns about the management of Britain's economy and are demanding substantially higher yields compared with all other developed markets to compensate. A possible solution: Amending the Bank of England's mandate to echo that of the Federal Reserve by focusing on jobs as well as inflation. Although she inherited a fine old mess, part of the responsibility for this rests with Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves. She's struggling to keep a lid on government spending, while raising sufficient tax revenue and new debt to balance her budget dilemmas. The UK is suffering from structurally high inflation — figures Wednesday are expected to show an annual 3.7% gain in consumer prices in July, up from June's 3.6% increase — but obsessing over consumer prices when the job market is struggling won't help. There's been a net loss of 165,000 jobs since Reeves' October budget; any economic downturn, especially if it's accompanied by rising unemployment, will ameliorate higher prices soon enough.

Lawmakers Win Round in Spending Fight With White House
WASHINGTON—The Trump administration has restored a public website that tracks federal spending, marking a victory for lawmakers who complained that the White House was using the blackout to freeze funding without public disclosures. The dispute over the website has coincided with a fight between President Trump and Capitol Hill over the administration's aggressive efforts to curtail what it deems excessive spending, challenging Congress's power of the purse. The website was taken down in March by the White House Office of Management and Budget, prompting a lawsuit by advocacy groups that argued the administration was violating a public-disclosure law.
