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.

Another month of substantial upside inflation pressure creates broad-based income destruction. What started as base effects and built with narrow shocks (inc-energy) has increasingly become an awkward trend phenomenon. 
That painful trend could continue causing upside inflation surprises until the brisk nominal expansion burns itself out. Second-round effects of inflation in wages are needed to extend it.
The BoE is likely to do its bit by hiking again on 3 February.
