    UK CONSUMER CONFIDENCE REMAINS STABLE IN JUNE: GFK

    UK consumer sentiment remained unchanged in June, survey results from market research group GfK showed on Friday.

    The consumer confidence index held steady at -9.0 in June, while it was forecast to rise to -7.0.

    "A repetition of last month's score doesn't mean confidence is about to nose-dive," Joe Staton, client strategy director at GfK, said.

    The upwards trajectory for the Index since the dark days at the start of the pandemic is currently still on track, Staton said. However, forecasts for rising retail price inflation could weaken consumer confidence quickly.

    Four measures of the index were up in comparison to the previous month, while one measure was down.

    The index measuring past changes in personal finances gained four points to zero. The forecast for personal finances over the next year rose only one point to +11.

    The measure for the general economic situation over the last year edged up one point to -47, while the expectations for the general economic situation over the coming twelve months dropped by six points to -2.

    The Major Purchase Index improved by two points to -5 and the Savings Index was down one point to +21 in June.

    DOLLAR RECOVERS AFTER MID SESSION SETBACK

    The U.S. dollar depreciated against its most major counterparts in the European session on Friday, as the nation's personal income slumped in May, easing fears over a faster tightening of monetary policy by the U.S. Federal Reserve. .

    The currency recovered from lows post noon and even managed to gain some ground against some of its rivals.

    In economic news today, a report from the Commerce Department showed the annual rate of core consumer price growth in May matched economist estimates. The reading on inflation said to be preferred by the Fed showed the annual rate of core consumer price growth accelerated to 3.4% in May from 3.1% in April.

    According to the data released by the Commerce Department, personal income slumped by 2% in May after plunging by 13.1% in April. Economists had expected personal income to tumble by 2.5%.

    Meanwhile, the report showed personal spending was virtually unchanged in May after climbing by 0.9% in April. Personal spending was expected to rise by 0.4%.

    A report from the University of Michigan said that its consumer sentiment reading for the US was revised lower to 85.5 in June from a preliminary reading of 86.4. Although market had expected to score to come in at 87.4, it still remained the second-highest since start of the pandemic.

    The currency was further weighed by stimulus optimism, after President Joe Biden announced that the White House has reached an infrastructure deal with U.S. Senators worth $579 billion.

    The agreement proposes spending to rebuild roads, bridges and other traditional infrastructure over the next five years.

    The package is expected to generate "millions" of jobs and will be funded through unused coronavirus aid money and returned state jobless benefits.

    The dollar index dropped to 91.53 around mid morning, but rallied to 91.88 later on in the day. It was last seen at 91.80, down slightly from the previous close.

    Against the Euro, the dollar was slightly weak at $1.1937, after recovering from $1.1977.

    Against Pound Sterling, the dollar firmed to $1.3879, gaining from $1.3922.

    The Yen gained marginally at 110.79 a dollar.

    UK SHOP PRICES CONTINUE TO FALL IN JUNE: BRC

    UK shop prices continued to fall in June, data from the British Retail Consortium showed on Wednesday.

    The shop price index slid 0.7 percent year-on-year in June, after easing 0.6 percent in May. Non-food prices were down 1 percent in June.

    Non-food prices, particularly for fashion, remained deflationary as businesses tried to prolong the recent pickup in consumer spend, Helen Dickinson, chief executive at BRC, said.

    Food prices also fell, which is a testament to supermarkets battling to keep prices low for their customers.

    The fact that shop prices remain in negative territory despite the recent rise in CPI is indicative of the competitive retail landscape in the UK and keeping prices low for as long as possible is good news for shoppers, said Mike Watkins, Head of Retailer and Business Insight, NielsenIQ.

    CHINA SERVICE SECTOR EXPANDS AT SLOWER PACE IN JUNE

    China's service sector expanded at a much slower pace in June as the recent uptick in COVID-19 cases and reduced travel dampened overall new business, survey results published by IHS Markit showed on Monday.

    The Caixin services Purchasing Managers' Index fell notably to 50.3 in June from 55.1 in May. Nonetheless, the index has remained above the neutral 50 mark for the fourteenth successive month. The slower upturn in business activity coincided with a softer increase in overall new work. New work from abroad meanwhile increased only marginally.

    Employment across the service sector fell for the first time in four months.

    On the price front, the survey showed that input price inflation eased to the lowest since September 2020. Services companies lowered their average output charges for the first time in nearly a year in June.

    Although services companies remained strongly upbeat regarding the year-ahead outlook for activity, the resurgence of the COVID-19 virus dampened overall optimism in June. Moreover, the degree of positive sentiment slipped to a nine-month low.

    The composite output index that measures the overall performance of manufacturing and services, slipped to 50.6 in June from 53.8 in May. The rate of growth was the softest seen in the current 14-month period of expansion and only marginal.

    UK CONSUMER SENTIMENT IMPROVES IN JULY: GFK

    UK consumer sentiment strengthened more-than-expected in July to reach ahead of its March 2020 pre-lockdown level, survey data from the market research group GfK showed on Friday.

    The consumer sentiment index rose to -7 in July from -9 in the previous month. The expected reading was -8.

    "This means it has now held firm or improved for six months in a row," Joe Staton, client strategy director GfK, said. "What happens across the remaining summer months will frame consumer confidence for the rest of 2021 and beyond," Staton added.

    Among components of the consumer sentiment index, two measures were up in comparison to June, two measures were down and one stayed the same in July.

    The assessment of the past personal financial situation fell to -1 from zero in June, while the outlook for the personal financial situation held steady at 11.

    Consumers' view about the past general economic situation climbed to -43 from -47, while expectations for the general economic conditions worsened to -5 from -2.

    At the same time, the major purchase index rose to +2 from -5 a month ago.

    AUSTRALIA EXPORT PRICES SPIKE 13.2% ON QUARTER IN Q2

    Export prices in Australia were up 13.2 percent on quarter in the second quarter of 2021, the Australian Bureau of Statistics said on Thursday - accelerating from 11.2 percent in the previous three months.

    On a yearly basis, export prices surged 26.0 percent.

    The main contributors to the rise were: metalliferous ores and metal scrap (+18.5 percent), driven by the demand for iron ore from China and constrained global supply; coal, coke and briquettes (+15.6 percent), reflecting the demand for thermal coal for household power production in Asia; and gas, natural and manufactured (+14.6 percent), due to the oil-linked contracts capturing the continued rise in oil prices in early 2021.

    Import prices rose 1.9 percent on quarter and fell 2.5 percent on year.
