0909 GMT - U.K. labor market, inflation and retail sales data due to be released this week could signal the likely date for the Bank of England's next interest-rate cut, Tickmill Group's Patrick Munnelly says in a note. Any further weakness in the labor market data and deceleration in inflation could reinforce market expectations of a rate cut in March, he says. Markets price in a 65% probability of a BOE rate cut in March, LSEG data show. (miriam.mukuru@wsj.com)
