SpanishSterling Strengthens ahead of U.K.’s Key Economic Indicators, 25+ PIP Volatility likely in GBP Parity; June 11, 2021
U.K. GDP & many more indicators…
Today U.K. has scheduled to release GDP data, goods trade balance, manufacturing production as well as Industrial production data at 0600 GMT/1130 IST. As many indicators are releasing at the same time, mixed data may cause volatility in the sterling parity. GDP is the broadest measure of economic activity and the primary gauge of the economy’s health. On the other side, Production indicators are leading indicators of economic health – production reacts quickly to ups and downs in the business cycle and is correlated with consumer conditions such as employment levels and earnings. Lastly, positive number of trade balance data indicates that more goods were exported than imported.
Let’s see how GBP has reacted during the previous data release:
