UK April GDP Contracts 0.1%, Aligns with Bank of England's Q2 Forecast

According to Barclays analysts Jack Meaning and Sean Henigan, the UK's April GDP fell 0.1% month-on-month on June 12, confirming the Bank of England's Q2 growth forecast of 0.1%. The central bank will hold its policy meeting next week. Services sector weakness, particularly from sports and entertainment, dragged on growth. Market focus will turn to May inflation data and April labor market data due next week, with limited room for surprises to alter the June meeting outcome, though data could influence voting distribution.
