The UKs GDP expanded by 0.1% in February, making it two months of growth and boosting prospects for an economic recovery. The Office for National Statistics also revised the January growth rate to 0.3%. Even with the slow growth, the data points to the potential for an economic recovery, especially given the slowing inflation rate and the impending decline in home energy costs. Growth was driven mainly by production, with a slight increase in services output. On the other hand, bad weather caused a decrease in the production of construction. According to Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, the data is encouraging and lessens the pressure on the Bank of England to decrease interest rates, which are currently anticipated to happen in June. This bullish prediction indicates the possibility of a gentle landing in the war against inflation without a protracted recession. Read More..

Coal remains an essential energy source, even if the worlds potential for renewable energy expands, especially in Chinas manufacturingdriven economy. Read More..

Despite experts predictions for a reduction, the Bank of Korea BOK decided to keep its policy rate at 3.50%, citing inflation and export strength uncertainties. Governor Rhee Changyong stated that it was difficult to forecast rate reductions for the second half of the year and that they should only be considered once the 2% inflation objective had been reached. The BOK preserved its tight policy stance, although a change in wording suggested that rate reduction may come in the future.
