GBP UK Lloyds House Price Index m/mLloyds HPI m/m Forecast 0.0%Previous 0.0%
- What it is
- This index measures the monthly change in UK house prices compared with the previous month, based on mortgage data from Lloyds Banking Group.
- Why it matters
- House prices reflect consumer strength, borrowing demand and the effect of interest rates on the UK economy. The release is usually of low to medium importance for the market.
- Usual market reaction
- Prices tend to react to the actual figure compared with the forecast. A higher-than-forecast rise in house prices usually gives the pound slight support, as it may point to firm demand, while a lower result tends to weigh on it slightly. Moves are often small unless the surprise is large.

- Usual market reaction
