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.

Excess demand and inflation are applying hawkish pressures to the MPC that might not normally be tolerable. The MPC’s hawkish message in May has been ignored in favour of loosening monetary conditions even further.
Temporary disruption to output in April has hit the prospects for 2Q19 heavily. Until the rebound is seen, the MPC is likely to remain cautious and resist the sort of significant strengthening in its hawkish guidance that I’d previously expected.
