Before that, he was UK Economist at Barclays Wealth, where he also developed strategic asset allocation models for their market return portfolios.

Heteronomics

Heteronomics represents a different kind of economics. We believe analysis should delve into the details of what is really going on, rather than using overly simplistic assumptions to quick-sell stories. Independence from myopic institutional pressures allows us to focus on the realities underlying your asset allocation decisions, without the conflicts of the old market structures. Heteronomics targets the themes driving UK asset prices, offering the benefits of depth, independence and ultimately price.

EA inflation slowed as expected by 21bp to 5.31% in the Jul-23 flash. Downside news in some member states did not extend to the EA, unlike the trend since Nov-22.
Energy prices offset upside news in core inflation again, which is a hawkish mix. It probably isn’t enough to trigger another rate hike in September.
A similar slight slowing remains likely in August before September steps down more broadly. HICP inflation should reach a welcome 2-handle in the Autumn.
