The pound has taken a hit this morning after retail sales figures came in below expectations and are another sign that the UK economy isn’t picking up quite as quickly as people forecast it would a few months ago. The Bank of England minutes yesterday haven’t helped improve the situation, so it will be interesting to see how UK GDP figures come out tomorrow. If these aren’t particularly robust we could see sterling slip back a couple of levels as confidence is shaken.
