Deutsche Bank Sees A United Kingdom GDP Slowdown in H2 2025

BY MT Newswires | ECONOMIC | 09/08/25 09:25 AM EDT

09:25 AM EDT, 09/08/2025 (MT Newswires) -- After a surprisingly stronger Q2, where the United Kingdom claimed the fastest gross domestic product growth rate among G7 economies, all signs point to a slowdown in economic activity in H2 of the year, said Deutsche Bank.

A course correction in trade-fronting, stockpiling, net acquisitions of precious metals and public sector spending, the bank thinks, will see U.K. GDP growth slow into H2.

The U.K. will release the July GDP on Friday. Deutsche Bank's nowcast models point to a 0.1% month-over-month contraction to start the summer -- though the bank predicts some upside risks given the timing of the UEFA Women's Euro finals.

Overall, however, Deutsche Bank forecasts all three key sectors in the U.K. to decline.

All Fixed Income News

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.
