Official data this week will paint a clearer picture of where interest rates might go, with an expected knock-on effect for swap rates and mortgage prices. Unemployment and wage growth statistics tomorrow, followed by GDP data on Wednesday, are expected to show the UK economy on its way back out of recession. Stronger-than-expected figures might encourage the Bank of England to keep its base rate at the current level of 5.25%, while weaker figures could mean a cut enters the horizon sooner.
