凯投宏观：英国GDP下滑有助于英国央行8月降息

Core Viewpoint - The decline in UK GDP provides further justification for the Bank of England to consider an interest rate cut in August [1] Economic Performance - The GDP shrank by 0.3% in April, supporting the view that the 0.7% growth in the first quarter was unsustainable [1] - Second-quarter data may exaggerate economic weakness, alleviating concerns about a recession [1] External Factors - New tariffs and domestic companies cutting spending to offset increased costs from tax hikes in April are expected to drag on the economy due to weak overseas demand [1] - Despite these challenges, the current economic conditions are not sufficient to prompt an interest rate cut by the Bank of England next week [1]
