The FTSE 100 has begun a predictably quiet and shortened trading session by opening lower, falling 33 points or 0.45% to 7,479 in early deals.
Unsurprisingly there are little to no major news events among the blue-chip or mid-cap market segments, meanwhile, the commentary around the macro-economic environment continues to paint a pretty bleak picture – with fresh headlines in recent days of yet more energy price rises, updates on various strike actions, and, absurdist images of shoppers queuing for hours to buy a Youtuber’s flavored water drink.
Today, the Resolution Foundation think tank predicted 2023 will be a “groundhog year” in which the cost-of-living crisis is expected to deepen with lower pay, higher tax, and further soaring energy bills.
Living standards will get “far worse” before they get better, the think tank says, in a report, albeit it says that it believes inflation has already peaked but that won’t immediately mean prices will fall.
Elsewhere, with more concrete data the Nationwide Building Society`s monthly update to its House Price Index showed a 0.1% decline in the UK’s average house prices, marking the fourth consecutive month of decline.
