This week’s currency news – GDP out tomorrow
28 July, 2011
CurrencyIndex
By far the most important data release this week in the UK will be Tuesday’s GDP figure – the first estimate of growth in the UK economy from March to June. There is a real worry that we could see a negative result, which would mean the economy had contracted, sparking fears of a double dip recession. Needless to say, that could in turn be catastrophic news for the value of Sterling.
We also have UK house prices, mortgage approvals, and consumer confidence out this week, all of which could have an effect on the Pound’s value.
