There's a bit of give and take in the report here as payroll estimate falls for the first time since February 2021, though this is a preliminary estimate and may be adjusted later on. The jobless rate also ticked higher and that isn't a positive sign but wages continue to run hot, so that should vindicate the BOE to keep on the tightening path at the moment.
The pound is moving higher as a result of the hot wages numbers again, with GBP/USD up from around 1.2870 to 1.2895 currently.
