Currency News this week 302

No joy for those of you waiting to transfer money overseas yet this week – as the Pound was hampered by this morning’s negative UK manufacturing data.

For the rest of the week we have some key data which may cause volatility – not least the monthly Bank of England and European Central Bank policy announcements.
