[Market Analysis: It is too early to lift the alarm on the British economic crisis] Raymond James analyst Jeremy Batstone-Carr said that although the British economy grew in April, it is too early to lift the alarm on the British economy. UK GDP recorded 0.2% growth in April, a rebound after a slight decline in March, suggesting that the UK economy may avoid recession. But Jeremy said the Bank of England would still raise interest rates to fight inflation, so it was too early to allay concerns. Consumer spending continues to be held back by brutal inflation, with rising mortgage rates putting increasing pressure on households. Given the continued tightening in these areas, a huge effort is still needed to avoid a recession.
