Current trend
Ahead of the BoE Governor Mark Carney’s appearance, the pair came under pressure when Philip Hammond, UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, suggested extension of the BoE’s QE program. The pair, however, then recovered almost all it losses amid the speech of the head of the British regulator. Mark Carney expressed concerns over the depreciation of the national currency. A “fairly substantial” fall in the Pound will be taken into account when deciding on interest rates, he said.
Tomorrow particular attention needs to be paid to data on UK’s third-quarter GDP figures. Experts suggest that Britain’s economic growth slowed down from 0.7% to 0.3% that could pressure the Pound. In the afternoon, the American currency, on its part, could gain support amid the publication of strong data on orders for durable goods in the US.
