Key Quotes

“UK construction output fell sharply in August, dropping 4.3% m/m against our (+0.8%) and the market’s (1.0%) expectations for a moderate rise. This adds some downside risk for Q3 GDP, but construction data tends to be very volatile month-to-month. Separately, the UK’s trade balance also saw a sharp deterioration during August, adding to the economy’s recent headwinds.”
