I suppose that the level of the FTSE100, at 7912, reflects a positive corporate earnings expectation, despite the situation for the 7m households.

The National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) predicted that one in four, or 7 million, UK households would not earn enough to cover all their planned energy and food bills over the coming year as inflation continues to bite.

Britain will avoid a recession this year but it will still feel like one for households struggling with the cost of living, according to a think-tank.

The National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) predicted that one in four, or 7 million, UK households would not earn enough to cover all their planned energy and food bills over the coming year as inflation continues to bite.

Meanwhile middle-income households face a hit of up to £4,000, or 13 per cent, of their personal incomes, it said.
