  • Growth concerns – The UK economy shrank by 0.1% in January, although surveys suggest a modest recovery may be underway.
  • Retail bounceback – Consumers surprised analysts by spending more in February, though confidence remains fragile.
  • Spring Statement fallout – The Chancellor announced welfare and spending cuts to protect limited fiscal headroom amid rising debt costs.
