Deutsche Bank Previews This Week's U.K.'s GDP Data

BY MT Newswires | ECONOMIC | 07/07/25 12:15 PM EDT

12:15 PM EDT, 07/07/2025 (MT Newswires) -- After a disappointing April, Deutsche Bank said it thinks the United Kingdom's gross domestic product growth will push back into positive territory in May.

The U.K. will publish May's GDP on Friday.

The bank expects growth to edge up 0.1% month over month, led in large part by a rebound in the services sector. Risks to Deutsche Bank's projections are broadly balanced.

Relative to the bank's baseline projections, downside risks have emerged around its Q2 and 2025 annual projections. The 'awful April' GDP print sets Deutsche Bank back a tenth on its quarterly GDP projection. The bank's nowcasts are running closer to 0.1-0.2% quarter over quarter versus Deutsche Bank's official projection of 0.25% quarter over quarter.

This also raises a tenth downside to the bank's annual growth projection of 1.2%.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
