Inflation rate up again a bit, a little further above 2% target, driven by, for example, used car sales prices up 4.4% in June alone, which we covered last month.

Base effects, eg comparisons with pandemic price falls a year ago, driving a lot of this…
used car price surge is also a result of pandemic, eventually. Demand has shot up, because new car production slowed at a time when demand rebounded, forcing people to buy second hand. microchip production was diverted away from new cars to electronics last year during pandemic
Heading for peak of about 3% in coming months, above target, but not as high as after recent crises or as seen now in US.

would trigger a letter of explanation from the Governor to Chancellor, which would say, “these are mainly bottlenecks and arithmetic effects of reopening”

NEW: Bank of England Governor Bailey at Mansion House says economy is “bouncing back rapidly” that inflation rise “will continue through the rest of this year.. further above target” but that this is expected to be a “temporary feature of the bounce back”...
Unexpectedly few references to the football in the Governor’s speech.... but he does cite the competing inflationary impact of the Beckham family ... a 29 year high in personal grooming inflation of 8%, though Victoria Beckham is cutting the avg price of her dresses by 40%
Chancellor at Mansion House: “I see no reason of substance why the UK should not continue to provide clearing services for countries in the EU” - says UK’s principles and values on regulation/ rule of law should reassure

Significant new investment in sector v dependent on EU exports - timed to deal with rules of origin issue that was subject of very last negotiations between PM & VDL. Basically the batteries will need to be British for the car to be exported tariff free bbc.co.uk/news/business-…
Strongest commitment yet from Nissan that “generation after generation” of workers in Sunderland will be employed, after this investment…
The questions - how much is the subsidy… as this is around one tenth of battery capacity required to maintain the current size of car industry, will everyone else get same subsidy… and what might happen if in a spat with EU over something else, tariffs were applied…
