📌 THIS WEEK IN BRIEFThree things you need to know this week:1. Mortgage approvals in April hit 65,945, up 9% year-on-year, the strongest reading since before the Iran conflict began. But the average 2-year fix still sits at 5.68% as of 1 June.2. BoE Deputy Governor Sarah Breeden warned in April that private credit could suffer a crunch similar to the one that hit banks after 2008. She said it would not bring down the banking system but could cause a serious lending squeeze.3. Rightmove's May data shows the number of homes for sale is at its highest level for this time of year since 2015. Almost a third of listings are seeing price reductions. Homes without a reduction sell in 36 days. Those that need one take 127 days.

📌 THIS WEEK IN BRIEFThree things you need to know this week:1. April CPI fell to 2.8%, down sharply from 3.3% in March. This is the most positive inflation reading of 2026 and changes the BoE rate path significantly.2. UK 10-year gilt yields fell to their lowest level since late April after the sharpest weekly decline since 2024, as Trump confirmed a US-Iran MOU has been "largely negotiated" and Brent crude dropped below $100/barrel.3. The MPC voted 8-1 to hold rates at the June meeting, with chief economist Huw Pill the sole vote for a hike to 4%. The next decision is 18 June 2026.
