The UK Office for National Statistics (ONS) announced that, after seasonal adjustment, the number of people claiming unemployment benefits in the UK increased by 26,800 MoM to 1.694 million in March. The increase was higher than market expectations of 21,400. The previous figure was revised downward to an increase of 17,100 from a previously reported increase of 24,700.

Amid the energy shock triggered by the conflict involving Iran since late February, the UK has been among the advanced economies most affected, with companies accelerating layoffs in March. ONS tax data showed that the number of payrolled employees in the UK decreased by 11,000 MoM in March, marking the largest decline since last November. The drop was about double that in February and also weaker than market expectations.

Ashley Webb, Senior UK Economist at Capital Economics, said the data for the first time reflected the sharp rise in energy prices caused by the Iran conflict, which has affected companies' hiring plans.

The pound edged down 0.2% today (21st) to 1.3504 against the USD. Markets are betting that the Bank of England will raise interest rates at least once more for the remainder of the year to curb inflation. (da/u)~
