Following on from yesterday's boost to GBP in the wake of the release of the MPC Minutes we note sterling is mixed this morning - we have some retail sales numbers from the ONS at 9:30 which are predicted to confirm an improving UK economy and to solidify recent gains in GBP.
Highlights:
@9:30: UK retail sales beat expectations underpinning sterling
@11:30: IMF warnings back views that Bank of England has space to be accomodative
