Deutsche Bank flags UK growth slowdown as inflation rises to 3.1% in August

AI Market Summary
Deutsche Bank flags a UK "stagflationary" mix: Q2 GDP growth slowed to 0.2% q/q while August CPI re-accelerated to 3.1% and core inflation remains above the BoE's 2% target. This complicates policy expectations (markets price only a ~40% chance of early-2025 cuts), supporting higher gilt yields and keeping GBP sensitive to repricing of the rates path and growth risk.
