US Core PPI (MoM) July +0.2% vs +0.3% expected; June revised up to +0.4% from +0.2%.

National Institute of Economic and Social Research economist Fergus Jimenez-England said the UK has so far resisted the recent energy-price shock better than many feared. Q2 GDP rose 0.4% following a 0.6% gain in Q1. Services output increased 0.4% in June, offsetting declines in construction and industrial production. Jimenez-England warned the recent growth pace may be hard to sustain; he expects inflation and unemployment to rise in coming months, and said business confidence is fragile and could weaken further if energy-price volatility continues. He said the economy has shown welcome resilience but is not yet out of the woods.
