Sterling Comment
Investors will be watching out for the release of labor data out of the UK, results likely to determine whether Sterling can regain its lost ground. If earnings growth do not meet or exceed expectations.
Yesterday, GBP/USD rose a third of a percent to hit $1.5290, recovering from a steep drop yesterday, when negative inflation data affected investor sentiment. Debate will continue to rage on whether the BOE will pip the Fed Reserve in raising interest rates. GBP/USD is currently trading in the region of 1.5312

Global Comment
The Euro has eased back from three week highs against the US Dollar. EUR/USD is currently trading at 1.1411. Earlier this morning, we saw Consumer Price Index figures come out of France. This was forecasted to come in at 0.1%. Industrial production data is also due out from the Eurozone, with forecasts estimated to sink from 0.6% down to -0.5%. If this is announced, we could see a halt to the strength of the EURO.
The Australian Dollar weakened off the back of China trade data, briefly dipping below 72 cents. GBP/AUD is trading at 2.1108.
The Israeli Shekel is trading firm despite terror concerns. The currency is stable in inter-bank trading against the dollar, but has weakened slightly against the Euro and Pound. GBP/ILS is currently trading in the region of 5.9437.
Have a great day!
