Earnings index growth slows down to 1.8%

I was discussing with Clarence Lim, a trading associate yesterday on why I knew the earnings index would paint a red picture: Wages are not growing in the UK. Take a look at any job ad and see the wages there. Clarence Lim also said to short GBP/JPY.

The average earnings index increased by 1.8% in January, down from 2.1% in the previous period.

Claimant count saw a reduction of 31.0 thousand compared to 39.4 thousand in the previous period.

The labour market report can be found here.
