Last week was a story of a weaker Dollar and a stronger Pound with gains for the Pound across the board, but most highlighted against the Dollar with rates the best for buying Dollars since March. Euro rates also recovered back towards the top of the range we have been contained within for some time now, having suffered earlier this month on news UK interest rates are likely to be cut a number of times over the remaining months of the year.
The week ahead starts off slow for data releases, but all of that changes on Wednesday with UK inflation and the Federal Reserve policy meeting minutes. Thursday then brings us PMI numbers from across the major zones, before UK retail sales on Friday.
