The BOE's Financial Stability Report provided more color on its response to Brexit.  It noted that “some risks have begun to crystallize” and added that the “current outlook for financial stability is challenging.”  The committee said it is monitoring closely five key risks:  1) investor appetite for UK assets, 2) valuations in the commercial real estate market, 3) vulnerability of indebted households and landlords, 4) the global economic outlook, and 5) liquidity in the financial markets.

The UK reported services and composite PMI for June at 52.3 and 52.4 vs. 52.8 and 52.0 expected, respectively.  It is difficult to determine the impact of the uncertainty ahead of the referendum.  The economy was already gradually slowing.  Carney had warned of significant downside risks in case of Brexit, and he maintained his sobering assessment last week.”
