Week ahead: All eyes on first quarter GDP
(WebFG News) - The focus over the coming week will - easily - be on the first reading on UK gross domestic product for the first quarter, at least according (sort of) to the Governor of the Bank of England.
In remarks made to the BBC the day before, Mark Carney appeared to leave the door open to shifting the timing of what had been a widely-expected first hike in Bank Rate at the next Monetary Policy Committee, on 10 May, until a later date.
Indeed, he said the most important economic release until May's MPC meeting would be Friday's first quarter GDP report.
According to economists, on Friday the Office for National Statistics will say that British GDP expanded at a quarter-on-quarter rate of 0.3% over the first quarter, versus the 0.4% pace observed during the final three months of 2017.
However, the unusually cold weather and snowstorms may have exerted an even greater drag on activity, they said, together with the uncertainty not only around Brexit but also global trade, pushing GDP growth down to just 0.2%.
Judging by his own remarks, for him at least, such a pace of growth, regardless of the possible reasons behind it, may be too low for comfort.
Other data due out over the week in the UK includes the latest public finance figures, for the month of March, on Tuesday, the BBA's mortgage data for March the next day and GfK's consumer confidence gauge on Friday.
Meanwhile, in the euro area, IHS Markit will publish the preliminary results of its services sector purchasing managers' index for April, which may move markets.
Stateside, the most keenly awaited release will also be the government's first reading on gross domestic product for the three months to March, on Friday as well.

In remarks made to the BBC the day before, Mark Carney appeared to leave the door open to shifting the timing of what had been a widely-expected first hike in Bank Rate at the next Monetary Policy Committee, on 10 May, until a later date.
Indeed, he said the most important economic release until May's MPC meeting would be Friday's first quarter GDP report.
According to economists, on Friday the Office for National Statistics will say that British GDP expanded at a quarter-on-quarter rate of 0.3% over the first quarter, versus the 0.4% pace observed during the final three months of 2017.
However, the unusually cold weather and snowstorms may have exerted an even greater drag on activity, they said, together with the uncertainty not only around Brexit but also global trade, pushing GDP growth down to just 0.2%.
Judging by his own remarks, for him at least, such a pace of growth, regardless of the possible reasons behind it, may be too low for comfort.
Other data due out over the week in the UK includes the latest public finance figures, for the month of March, on Tuesday, the BBA's mortgage data for March the next day and GfK's consumer confidence gauge on Friday.
Meanwhile, in the euro area, IHS Markit will publish the preliminary results of its services sector purchasing managers' index for April, which may move markets.
Stateside, the most keenly awaited release will also be the government's first reading on gross domestic product for the three months to March, on Friday as well.
