Full Press Release

 

Pound Suffers Worst Week since May against the Euro.  

The Pound had its biggest weekly decline since May against the Euro as the speculation over interest rates hike had been deflated by economic data.

Sterling fell 1.8% against the Euro and 0.7% against the Dollar this week as a report on Thursday showed that retail sales unexpectedly decreased. That came as growing speculation that the BOE will raise rates this year, this came after Mark Carney hinted a rate increase could be soon, pushed the pound to its strongest level against the euro since 2007.

The U.K. retail-sales data came one day after minutes from the Bank of England’s July meeting showed a growing number of the Monetary Policy Committee members saw rising inflation risks.

The Pound fell 1.8% in the past week to €1.415 against the Euro on Friday afternoon. It had strengthened 3.6% the previous week. Sterling dropped 0.5% to $1.5516.

GDP figures out tomorrow are expected to show that the U.K. economy has increased 0.7% in the second quarter, compared with 0.4% in the previous three months. The Pound may strengthen toward €1.45 against the euro in the next six months.
