Pound Sterling
The Pound has so far managed to avoid dropping against the US Dollar and Euro despite a report detailing a six-month low in consumer confidence. According to GfK NOP Ltd research group, sentiment fell from minus 28 in September to minus 30 in October. Although no further UK data is scheduled for today economists expect tomorrows Manufacturing PMI figures to show a decline. If this prediction proves accurate it could see the Pound post losses against its peers.
