英國第二季GDP 按季增長 4.8%

英國第二季國內生產總值(GDP) 按季增長 4.8%,大幅擺脫前季收縮 1.6%的跌勢,符合市場預期,主要受解除疫情限制令後,經濟活動及需求得以快速重啟所帶動。若以年率計算,英國 GDP 則急增 22.2%,創有紀錄以來新高,同時亦擺脫連續五個季度的衰退情況。至於按月計算,GDP 亦見增長 1%,為連升第五個月。目前英國 GDP 離疫情大流行前水平仍低約 2.2%,但若疫苗能有效控制疫情,料當地經濟缺口將有望於短期內回復至疫情前水平。

美國 7 月PPI升幅達7.8%,創自 2010 年 11 月以來最高

美國 7 月最終需求生產物價指數(PPI) 按年續升 7.8%,創自 2010 年 11 月以來最高,且增幅亦高於市場預期及前值的 7.3%。若按月計算,PPI 為上升 1%,升幅亦高於市場預期的 0.6%,前值同為上升 1%,主要受服務成本上升所帶動。期內,扣除食品及能源的核心 PPI 按年上升 6.2%,亦高於市場預期及前值的 5.6%。美國上游通脹高企,反映企業把成本轉嫁予消費者的壓力正持續升溫。
