[Video] Pound in focus this week as UK economic data released

AxiTrader Analyst, James Hughes on this week’s economic calendar highlights.

We’ve got an important week ahead in terms of data, not least for the UK economy. Unemployment and average earnings figures are published on Tuesday, followed by CPI inflation on Wednesday and Retail Sales on Thursday.

A suite of strong readings here will add further pressure on the Bank of England to hike interest rates at next month’s MPC meeting and with the Pound currently looking so beaten down, a meaningful rally could follow – at least in the short term.

US retail sales on Monday plus Eurozone inflation on Wednesday add to the busy schedule, but it’s the Pound that will arguably remain the currency worth watching.
