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’s 31bp rise in August to 3.3% more than completed the reversal of June’s premature optimism. Benign food and goods price rises aren’t seen in services and core.
Resurgent inflationary pressures reinforce the ECB’s July signal that it would hike again in September. Core inflation is too high, and upside risks remain.
Demonstrated vigilance should help preserve the anchor of expectations at 2%, avoiding the BoE’s ongoing failure. Two hikes should be sufficient if a winter squeeze is avoided.
