Wednesday preview: UK CPI, JD Wetherspoon in the spotlight

Tue, 18th Jan 2022 10:48

(Sharecast News) - The spotlight on Wednesday will be on data for UK consumer prices at the end of 2021.
Consensus is for the cost of living to have edged up by a tenth of a percentage point in annual terms in December to reach 4.7%.

But not all economists are on board with that notion.

Barclays Research for one expected both headline harmonised CPI and core CPI to ease from 4.6% to 4.4% and from 4.0% to 3.7%, respectively.

German CPI data on the other hand are expected to show that harmonised CPI in the euro area's largest economy held steady during that same month at 5.7%.

On the corporate side of things, JD Wetherspoon is due to update investors on its performance during its fiscal second quarter.

The pub owner recently warned that it might incur in a first half loss as a result of the Covid-19 restrictions that were imposed in December with the cancellation of big parties in the run-up to Christmas expected to have hit the industry hard.
