Britain's tight labour market | 14 February 2023

14 February 2023, GBP/USD

GBPUSD trading plan:

British employers expect to raise wages for their staff by the most in at least 11 years but the 5% pay deals for workers would still fall well below expected inflation, a survey published showed. With the Bank of England fearing the surge in inflation could be harder to tame if pay deals keep rising, the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development said 55% of recruiters planned to lift base or variable pay this year as they struggle to hire and retain staff in Britain's tight labour market. Expected median annual pay awards in 2023 rose to 5% - the highest since CIPD records began in 2012 - from 4% in the previous three months. More than half of respondents reported having problems filling vacancies, and nearly one in three expected similar issues in the next six months.

Investment idea: range 1.2090 - 1.2190.
