Sterling Decline As UK Services PMI Slows
The Pound prolonged its first weekly decline since the start of the year after a report showed that the services sector is growing at a slower pace than anticipated.
UK Services PMI, actual 54.5, est. 55.8
UK Composite PMI, actual 55.5, est. 56.0
Sterling’s drop since Britain voted to exit the EU is having a adverse impact on the domestic sales margins while the effect on exports is mixed. Also found that 68% of businesses expect their costs to rise over the coming year, with 54% expecting to have to increase the prices in the same period.
Sterling dropped against most of its major peers Friday, declining 0.3% to 1.2495 against the Dollar as of 10:32 a.m. Sterling also fell to 1.1582 against the Euro.
