Sterling remains weak following poor data
Last week a run of poor data including Housing figures and negative comments from the Bank of England caused the pound to fall against major currencies such as the Euro and US Dollar.
Little has happened to change this during the Christmas break. Trade is very thin and likely to remain so this week, and so we don't expect any huge changes. In the thinned holiday trade however, any economic news that surprises the markets could have a bigger impact than usual.
Despite the thin trade there are still data releases and trades happening, so contact us today to discuss your currency requirement, and find out how much you could save with our commercial rates of exchange.

German Consumer Price Index data is released today along with Money Supply data from the Eurozone.
Thursday
From the USA today we see some jobless and employment figures. The USD has been strengthening of late, and further better data may push GBP/USD rates lower.

UK data today is Consumer Confidence and Housing data. Last week poor housing data weakened the pound, and further poor figures could weaken Sterling further.
