The UK’s Office for National Statistics (ONS) has just released a series of July economic data with several unexpectedly positive signals. Specifically, GDP growth over the three months up to July reached 0.4%, surpassing the forecast of 0.3%. The major driver came from industrial production, which rose 0.9%, well above expectations of 0.2% and rebounding strongly from the 0.5% decline in the previous period. The trade deficit also narrowed significantly to -£209.65 billion, compared with a forecast of -£223 billion.

The UK’s economic picture is showing stronger resilience than many recession scenarios previously warned about. The combination of industrial production’s recovery and improved trade is helping to ease near-term recession pressure, reflecting that domestic demand and exports still maintain a certain degree of staying power.

For financial markets, these figures beating expectations provide additional grounds for the Bank of England (BoE) to maintain a cautious stance and not rush to ease monetary policy. The British pound (GBP) received near-term support, while UK government bond yields could remain elevated due to expectations of deep rate cuts being pushed back.

For the crypto market, more stable macro sentiment in Europe helps reinforce overall risk appetite, but the fact that major central banks keep interest rates high for longer remains a constraint limiting the surge of cheap liquidity into $BTC . #kinhte_anh #GDP #vimo
