The average five-year fix crept closer to 6%, hitting 5.94% on Thursday, up from 5.91% the previous day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-iyhl1z\">Thomas Pugh, an economist at the accountancy firm RSM UK, said households raiding their savings could reflect rising consumer confidence amid a scramble to book summer holidays and concert tickets in recent months. \u201cBut it seems more likely that households are using savings to pay down debt which has become much more expensive recently,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-iyhl1z\">The Bank\u2019s snapshot also showed that mortgage approvals rose slightly in May to 50,500 from 49,000 in April. Economists, however, say this is likely to prove shortlived given this month\u2019s rise in mortgage rates.<\/p>\n<figure data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.NewsletterSignupBlockElement\" class=\" dcr-173mewl\" wp_automatic_readability=\"3.0580204778157\"><a data-ignore=\"global-link-styling\" href=\"#EmailSignup-skip-link-11\" class=\"dcr-15r7368\">skip past newsletter promotion<\/a><\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"newsletter promotion\" class=\"dcr-124witz\" wp_automatic_readability=\"3.6679245283019\">\n<div class=\"dcr-10et71f\" wp_automatic_readability=\"7\">\n<p class=\"dcr-ohmn7a\">Sign up to <span>Business Today<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"dcr-1613jw2\">Get set for the working day \u2013 we&#8217;ll point you to all the business news and analysis you need every morning<\/p>\n<p><gu-island name=\"SecureSignupIframe\" deferuntil=\"idle\" props=\"{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Business Today&quot;,&quot;html&quot;:&quot;&lt;form id=\\&quot;secure-signup-business-today\\&quot;&gt;&lt;label class=\\&quot;email-signup-iframe-njjzu0\\&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=\\&quot;email-signup-iframe-de6my7\\&quot;&gt;Enter your email address &lt;\/div&gt;&lt;\/label&gt;&lt;div class=\\&quot;email-signup-iframe-17gkgdc\\&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=\\&quot;email-signup-iframe-lxzyg5\\&quot;&gt;&lt;label for=\\&quot;src-component-400910\\&quot; class=\\&quot;email-signup-iframe-0\\&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=\\&quot;email-signup-iframe-19ilr9m\\&quot;&gt;Enter your email address &lt;\/div&gt;&lt;\/label&gt;&lt;input type=\\&quot;email\\&quot; id=\\&quot;src-component-400910\\&quot; aria-required=\\&quot;true\\&quot; aria-invalid=\\&quot;false\\&quot; aria-describedby required name=\\&quot;email\\&quot; class=\\&quot;email-signup-iframe-11bty1f\\&quot;\/&gt;&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;button type=\\&quot;submit\\&quot; aria-live=\\&quot;polite\\&quot; class=\\&quot;email-signup-iframe-1wosa0f\\&quot;&gt;Sign up&lt;\/button&gt;&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;\/form&gt;&quot;,&quot;styles&quot;:&quot;&lt;style data-emotion=\\&quot;email-signup-iframe-global 0\\&quot;&gt;&lt;\/style&gt;&lt;style data-emotion=\\&quot;email-signup-iframe njjzu0 de6my7 17gkgdc lxzyg5 19ilr9m 11bty1f 1wosa0f\\&quot;&gt;.email-signup-iframe-njjzu0 div{font-family:GuardianTextSans,Guardian Text Sans Web,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif;font-size:0.875rem;line-height:1.35;font-weight:700;--source-text-decoration-thickness:2px;}.email-signup-iframe-de6my7{font-family:GuardianTextSans,Guardian Text Sans Web,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif;font-size:1.0625rem;line-height:1.35;font-weight:700;--source-text-decoration-thickness:2px;color:#121212;}.email-signup-iframe-17gkgdc{display:-webkit-box;display:-webkit-flex;display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;-webkit-flex-direction:row;-ms-flex-direction:row;flex-direction:row;-webkit-align-items:flex-start;-webkit-box-align:flex-start;-ms-flex-align:flex-start;align-items:flex-start;-webkit-box-flex-wrap:wrap;-webkit-flex-wrap:wrap;-ms-flex-wrap:wrap;flex-wrap:wrap;}.email-signup-iframe-lxzyg5{margin-right:12px;margin-bottom:8px;-webkit-flex-basis:335px;-ms-flex-preferred-size:335px;flex-basis:335px;-webkit-flex-shrink:1;-ms-flex-negative:1;flex-shrink:1;}.email-signup-iframe-19ilr9m{font-family:GuardianTextSans,Guardian Text Sans Web,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif;font-size:1.0625rem;line-height:1.35;font-weight:700;--source-text-decoration-thickness:2px;color:#121212;position:absolute;overflow:hidden;white-space:nowrap;width:1px;height:1px;margin:-1px;padding:0;border:0;clip:rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);-webkit-clip-path:inset(50%);-webkit-clip-path:inset(50%);clip-path:inset(50%);}.email-signup-iframe-11bty1f{width:100%;box-sizing:border-box;height:44px;font-family:GuardianTextSans,Guardian Text Sans Web,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif;font-size:1.0625rem;line-height:1.35;font-weight:400;--source-text-decoration-thickness:2px;color:#121212;background-color:#FFFFFF;border:2px solid #707070;padding:0 8px;margin-top:4px;height:36px;margin-top:0;}.email-signup-iframe-11bty1f:focus{border:2px solid #0077B6;outline:0;}html:not(.src-focus-disabled) .email-signup-iframe-11bty1f:focus{box-shadow:0 0 0 5px #0077B6;}.email-signup-iframe-11bty1f:invalid{box-shadow:none;}.email-signup-iframe-11bty1f:invalid[value]:not([value=\" solid=\"\" ease-in-out=\"\" text=\"\" sans=\"\" web=\"\" neue=\"\" grande=\"\" .email-signup-iframe-1wosa0f:focus=\"\">&#8220;,&#8221;newsletterId&#8221;:&#8221;business-today&#8221;,&#8221;successDescription&#8221;:&#8221;We&#8217;ll send you Business Today every weekday&#8221;}&#8221; clientOnly&gt;<\/gu-island><span class=\"dcr-1u9nobt\"><strong>Privacy Notice: <\/strong>Newsletters may contain info about charities, online ads, and content funded by outside parties.
