UK wages rose more slowly in the three months to May, despite a further fall in unemployment, official figures show.
Wage growth slipped to 2.7% from 2.8% in the three months to May, while unemployment fell by 12,000 to 1.41 million, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.
The unemployment rate remained at its joint lowest since 1975 at 4.2%.
The slowdown in wage growth could dampen expectations of an interest rate rise next month.
Wage growth is one of the key figures that the Bank of England monitors to assess the health of the UK economy.
Including bonuses, wage growth fell to 2.5% from 2.6% over the same period, the ONS said.
The proportion of people in work rose to a record high of 75.7%.
"We've had yet another record employment rate, while the number of job vacancies is also a new record," said ONS statistician Matt Hughes.
"From this, it's clear that the labour market is still growing strongly."
Ben Brettell, senior economist at Hargreaves Lansdown, called the latest figures "mildly disappointing".
"All in all, these numbers don't alter the economic picture of anaemic growth, a relatively tight labour market and under-control inflation," he said.
"Markets are still expecting the Bank of England to raise interest rates in August. But given the increasingly uncertain climate, I think there's a real chance policymakers will sit on their hands and wait for firmer signals the economy is on the right track before risking raising borrowing costs."
