UK lenders report surprise rise in mortgages in May, consumer lending cools
LONDON - The number of mortgages approved by British lenders for house purchases unexpectedly jumped in May, according to Bank of England data that suggested the housing market recovered quickly from the end of a tax break for homebuyers in April. Mortgage approvals rose to 63,032 in May from 60,656 the month before, and confounding the median forecast in a Reuters poll of economists for a fall to 59,750. "The gradual easing of interest rates could be helping to boost confidence and demand amongst mortgage borrowers," Karim Haji, global and UK head of financial services at accountants KPMG, said. Britain's housing market slowed in April after the expiry of a tax incentive for some homebuyers. The BoE's data published on Monday showed approvals for people looking to re-mortgage rose by the most in May since February 2024 in May. Net mortgage lending - which reflects completed house purchases - rose by a net 2.054 billion pounds compared with a fall of almost 800 million pounds in April. The BoE data showed unsecured consumer borrowing rose by slightly less than expected, potentially signalling a recovery in spending power. In cash terms, consumer credit increased by a net 0.86 billion pounds ($1.18 billion) in May from 1.94 billion pounds in April - below the Reuters poll consensus for a 1.05 billion-pound rise. "The cost of living remains high, but a drop in consumer borrowing in May signals that rising incomes are starting to feed through to the cost of day-to-day expenses," Haji added. The BoE held interest rates at 4.25% earlier this month, and investors are betting that the central bank will reduce borrowing costs in two further quarter-point moves to 3.75% by the end of the year.

UK-US trade deal kicks into gear with tariffs slashed for UK car and aerospace sectors
A trade deal that reduces tariffs on British exports of cars and aerospace equipment to the US has come into force as the two sides continue to negotiate over steel duties. London and Washington reached an agreement in May to cut US tariffs on cars from 27.5 per cent to 10 per cent, with a limit of 100,000 vehicles a year. It also fully eliminated a 10 per cent tariff on goods such as engines and aircraft parts. The deal was clinched after US President Donald Trump imposed import taxes as part of his 'liberation day' tariffs on countries across the world. 'From today, British car and aerospace manufacturers will benefit from major tariff reductions when exporting to the US, saving thousands of jobs,' the UK Department of Trade said in a statement on Monday. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the 'historic trade deal' delivers for British businesses and protects UK jobs. 'From today, our world-class automotive and aerospace industries will see tariffs slashed, safeguarding key industries that are vital to our economy.' In return, Britain agreed to further open its market to US ethanol and beef. The UK government is due to update Parliament on Monday on those sectors. The bioethanol industry says the deal has made it impossible to compete with heavily subsidised American products. The UK's largest bioethanol plant warned last week that it could be weeks from stopping production. Hull-based Vivergo Fuels said the start of talks with the government was a 'positive signal' but that it was simultaneously beginning consultation with staff to wind down the plant. It has also raised concerns in the chemical industry and among British farmers, even though the meat would still have to meet UK food safety standards. Mr Starmer and Mr Trumo finalised the deal for those sectors at the G7 summit, but levies on steel have been left at 25 per cent rather than falling to zero as originally agreed. Talks are continuing to secure 0 per cent tariffs on core steel products from the UK. The executive order signed by Mr Trump suggests the US wants assurances on the supply chains for UK Steel intended for export, as well as on the 'nature of ownership' of production facilities. 'We will continue go further and make progress towards zero per cent tariffs on core steel products,' the trade department said in the statement. Business and Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said the deal would save hundreds of millions each year and safeguard thousands of jobs. Kevin Craven, head of aerospace trade association ADS, said the sector 'hugely appreciated' the efforts to reach a deal. Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders chief executive Mike Hawes said the agreement was 'good news for US customers and a huge relief for the UK automotive companies that export to this critically important market'. This deal is one of several international agreements the UK has secured recently, including a trade deal with India and a renewed EU deal. Negotiations are also continuing for a GCC-UK trade deal. The two sides are 'hard at work' on bringing the deal into place Britain's chief negotiator, Tom Wintle, said last week.

UK business confidence levels hit highest since 2015, Lloyds says
LONDON: Confidence levels among British employers hit a fresh nine-year high this month as companies became more optimistic about the outlook for the economy, according to a survey published on Monday. The Lloyds Bank Business Barometer rose by one point to 51%, the highest since November 2015, adding to an 11-point jump in May following a tumble in April when U.S. President Donald Trump announced a big jump in import tariffs, many of which have since been suspended. The survey's measure of economic optimism touched a 10-month high, rising by a point after a 16-point increase in May. Hann-Ju Ho, senior economist at Lloyds Bank Commercial Banking, said a rise in hiring intentions - with 60% of firms expecting higher staffing levels in the coming year - suggested employers were starting to prepare for future growth. The Bank of England is watching Britain's jobs market closely as it tries to gauge how much inflation pressure remains in the economy. Governor Andrew Bailey said last week that he saw signs of a slowdown in the labour market, due in part to the government's tax increase for employers, which began in April. But the Lloyds survey showed wage growth expectations rose for a second month in a row, with 36% of respondents forecasting average pay increases of 3% or more. Separate figures published by jobs website Adzuna showed UK staff vacancies edged down in May from April but rose by 0.5% compared with May last year, the third such increase in a row after more than a year of falls. "May reinforced the sense that the job market in the UK is gradually regaining its footing," said Andrew Hunter, co-founder of Adzuna. The Confederation of British Industry (CBI) said its gauge of expectations among businesses about the economy over the next three months were less negative than in May but remained weak after the tax increase on employers and geopolitical upheaval. "Companies are still grappling with higher employment costs, cautious spending behaviour on the part of households and increasing global uncertainty," said Alpesh Paleja, the CBI's deputy chief economist.
