We’ll be particularly interested in any discussions relating to the recent market volatility and how it might feed through to medium-term UK inflation, and expect the 8-1 vote from August to hold, with McCafferty the sole dissent.”

July Industrial Production (9 Sep): UK industrial production is likely to post a tiny decline in July (-0.1% m/m against market expectations of +0.2% m/m), showing early evidence that growth in the UK economy will moderate a bit into 2015Q3.”

July Construction (11 Sep): Given the decline in PMI construction in July, we expect a small decline in the headline construction measure, against consensus expectations of a healthier 0.7% m/m gain.”
