- The UK Unemployment Rate unexpectedly drops to 3.8% in the three months to April.
According to the latest data published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on Tuesday, the United Kingdom’s (UK) ILO Unemployment Rate inched lower to 3.8% in the quarter to April from the 3.9% recorded in the three months to March, beating the market consensus of a 4.0% print.
The Claimant Count Change also showed a bigger-than-expected decline. The number of people claiming jobless benefits dropped by 13.6K in May, compared with the expected decrease of 9.6K. The Claimant Count Change unexpectedly jumped by 23.4K (an upward revision from 46.7K) in the previous month.
The UK’s average weekly earnings, excluding bonuses, arrived at 7.2% 3Mo/YoY in April versus 6.8% prior and 6.9% expected. The gauge including bonuses came in at 6.5% 3Mo/YoY in the fourth month of the year versus 6.1% previous and 6.1% expected.
It’s worth noting that the April data includes the impact of a 9.7% rise in the minimum wage and, therefore, will be closely analyzed by the Bank of England (BoE) as it stays committed to tame inflation.
GBP/USD extends its recovery momentum and scales 1.2550 after the mixed UK employment data. The pair is trading 0.40% higher on the day at 1.2558, as of writing.
The UK Average Earnings released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) is a key short-term indicator of how levels of pay are changing within the UK economy. Generally speaking, positive earnings growth anticipates positive (or bullish) for the GBP, whereas a low reading is seen as negative (or bearish).
