FTSE 100 Live 21 January: Car loan move boosts Lloyds, wage growth accelerates

^{Published on 2025-01-21 07:00:47 - MSN}

A boost to living standards after wage growth accelerated to 5.6% has been offset by signs of a cooling labour market. Adjusted for inflation, the real-terms growth in earnings was the highest since summer 2021.

The article from MSN Money discusses the recent economic developments in the UK as of January 21. Key points include a rise in the unemployment rate to 4.4%, which is higher than expected, signaling potential economic slowdown. This increase in unemployment has contributed to a weakening of the pound, which fell back after an initial rise. The FTSE 100, a major UK stock index, experienced fluctuations with investors reacting to these economic indicators. Additionally, the article touches on the broader implications of these figures, such as potential adjustments in monetary policy by the Bank of England, and the ongoing debate about Brexit's impact on the UK economy. The piece also mentions sector-specific news, like updates from companies listed on the FTSE 100, and provides insights into market sentiment amidst these economic shifts.
