UK GDP (m/m)
Mid-month · 07:00 London
The UK publishes GDP monthly — unusual among major economies — which makes each individual print noisy and prone to revision.
Sterling usually needs a large surprise or a recession-defining print to move meaningfully; the quarterly aggregate carries more policy weight.
What it measures
ONS' monthly output estimate — the UK is one of few major economies publishing GDP at monthly frequency, alongside the quarterly aggregate.
Why the economy cares
Monthly frequency buys timeliness at the cost of noise: single prints are revised often and the BoE weights the quarterly trend.
How it maps onto the chart
Only large surprises or recession-threshold prints (two negative quarters in sight) move cable meaningfully; typical months pass quietly at the 7:00 slot.
Price behavior around the release
Before
None worth noting.
During
Modest single impulse on big surprises; absorbed otherwise.
After
Fades dominate — the market waits for the quarterly picture.
