Kathleen Brooks, the Research Director at XTB, stated in a report that the labor market data to be released in the United Kingdom this Thursday may show strong wage growth. This data will be published before the Bank of England makes its interest rate decision, and it is expected that the Bank of England will keep interest rates unchanged, while concerns about inflation may indicate that future rate cuts will be gradual. Brooks noted that the average income growth in the United Kingdom, excluding bonuses, is expected to remain at a high of 5.9% for the three months ending in January. Brooks commented, "Along with Trump's tariff threats, the burden on UK businesses will surge in the coming months."
