This morning’s Q3 GDP figures showed that the economy grew more than expected from July to September, showing a 0.8% growth rather than the 0.4% expected by analysts.

This reduced the likelihood of futher Quantitative Easing (QE) next month, and the Pound has spiked up nearly a cent against the Euro and US Dollar on the back of the figures.
