The number of employees on British company payrolls surged by 356,000 in June from May, the biggest increase since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, as the economy bounced back from its coronavirus lockdowns, tax data showed on Thursday.

The increase was driven by a 94,000 leap in accommodation and food jobs, which were heavily hit by lockdowns that have now largely lifted, and by a 72,000 rise in jobs in administration and support services.

They recon it will be 2025 before airlines are back to 2019 levels of traffic

Good start for Lloyds up 1.24% further easing in restrictions will go some way to helping the UK’s economic recovery,
The Inflation figure was well ahead of forecasts of 2.2% and above the Bank of England’s ceiling of 2%, which will fuel the debate over interest rates

Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS.N)executives said a record backlog of deals will help drive profits for the rest of the year after the bank smashed second-quarter estimates.

Deals worth $1.5 trillion were announced in the three months to June 30 despite slowing activity among blank-check firms, more than any second quarter on record and up 13% from the record first quarter of the year, according to Refinitiv data.

JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N) second-quarter profits jumped 155% as the U.S. economy continued to rebound, but executives warned on Tuesday that the sunny outlook would not make for blockbuster revenues in the short term due to low interest rates, weak loan demand and a slowdown in trading.

British inflation jumped further above the Bank of England's target in June when it hit 2.5%, its highest since August 2018 and up from 2.1% in May as the economy bounced back from coronavirus lockdowns, official data showed on Wednesday.

Higher prices for food, fuel, second-hand cars, clothing and footwear all pushed inflation up last month, the Office for National Statistics said.

The reading was above all forecasts from economists polled by Reuters who mostly had expected consumer price inflation (CPI) to hit 2.2% in the 12 months to June.

UK banks aren’t US banks and anyone expecting a big increase in payouts needs to temper their optimism, which probably helps explain why despite an initial move higher, the bulk of, if not all of today’s gains have disappeared, for Lloyds, NatWest Group and Barclays, probably as a consequence of what is happening to yields, after today’s US inflation report, which has seen short term rates rise and long term rates decline, thus flattening the yield differentials which allows banks to maximise their profits

US inflation surprised on the upside in June for the third month running. Headline inflation rose to 5.4% from 5.0% while the more important core inflation measure increased to 4.5% from 3.8%.

The Fed has continued to insist that the current surge in inflation should prove transitory and is nothing to get too alarmed about; however, with numbers like these, it will become more difficult for the Fed to maintain such a relaxed line. The figures should also put some upward pressure on Treasury yields which have recently caught many investors off guard with their recent marked decline.

Investors are looking to U.S. companies' upcoming quarterly results and forecasts about the recovery in the second half of 2021 as some worry that the recent economic surge is already waning.

The Bank of England scrapped pandemic-era curbs on dividends from HSBC, Barclays and other top lenders with immediate effect on Tuesday, saying its stress test showed the sector is well capitalised to cope with the fallout from COVID on the economy.

JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N) and Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS.N) are taking on a consumer finance market many outsiders have tried and failed to crack: Britain.

The two are testing the UK market to see if their U.S. retail brands, Chase and Marcus, can be rolled out globally. The challenge, analysts say, is scraping some business from customers who are entrenched with local providers.
